When doing work that requires high precision, it is often very important how fast an algorithm converges. I did an algorithm in Maple based upon the paper "On Infinitely Many Algorithms For Solving Equations" by Ernst Schroder, Translated by G. W. Stewart. Given any smoothly differentiable funct

Is there a tar ball for mpir? Else, can I do a read only checkout from SVN (and if so, is there a known procedure for that)? I might be interested in contribution of multiple precision code at slightly higher levels (e.g. multiple precision integration via RMS (Recursive Monotone Stable) quadratu

Perhaps you intend your tools as purely academic exercise or for use only in altogether open source projects. I find the proliferation of GPLv3 code as something tragic, because I can only use these things as toys and not for work. For instance, for this reason I am unable to use the excellent G
