Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Package name : ocamlcreal Version : 0.4 Upstream Author : Jean-Christophe Filliātre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL : http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/software.en.html License : LGPL Description : O'Caml library that implements exact real arithmetic This module implements exact real arithmetic, following Val<E9>rie M<E9>nissier-Morain Ph.D. thesis (http://www-calfor.lip6.fr/~vmm/).
A real x is represented as a function giving, for any n, an approximation zn/4^n of x such that |zn/4^n - x| < 1, where zn is an arbitrary precision integer (of type Gmp.Z.t). Coercions from type int, Gmp.Z.t, Gmp.Q.t, basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, power, square root) and transcendental functions (sin, cos, tan, log, exp, arcsin, arccos, etc.) and a few constants (pi, e) are provided. A small reverse-polish calculator is provided to test the library. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.3 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
