Thanks Henri. My understanding of MathContext is it allows you to specify the significant digits. Here is a related thread -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2529526/bigdecimal-division-mathcontext-very-strange-behaviour
So if that understanding is correct, providing a comparison MathContext will not solve the problem. Probably, a comparison scale, rounding mode, would help. Also curious to know about the issue that I mentioned in the equals method in JexlArithmetic. Thanks again.
