The BigDecimal class is a standard class in the Java language and supports only a subset of mathematical operations. As such, our support is quite limited in [math]. We use it for example in the BigFraction class for conversions, we wrap it in out own BigReal class in order to implement a custom interface, and we also use it to compute some coefficients. For high accuracy computation, we prefer to use our Dfp class (Decimal Floating Point) which can also be configured to support any desired accuracy (even hundreds of singificant digits). In addition to the classical operations BigDecimal supports (4 arithmetic operations plus a few conversions and rounding), Dfp also supports all classical mathematical operations like trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, roots, power ... In fact, everything you would find in the java.util.Math (or org.apache.commons.math3.util.FastMath) for primitive double is also available in the Dfp class, and in all the classes that implement org.apache.commons.math3.RealFieldElement.
