| PackageDescription | library for arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic - Documentation
Mpmath is a pure-Python library for multiprecision floating-point
arithmetic. It provides an extensive set of transcendental functions,
unlimited exponent sizes, complex numbers, interval arithmetic,
numerical integration and differentiation, root-finding, linear
algebra, and much more. Almost any calculation can be performed just
as well at 10-digit or 1000-digit precision, and in many cases mpmath
implements asymptotically fast algorithms that scale well for
extremely high precision work.
.
If available, mpmath will (optionally) use gmpy to speed up high
precision operations. If matplotlib is available, mpmath also
provides a convenient plotting interface.
.
Its features include:
.
* Fair performance -- typically 10-100x faster than Python's
decimal library
* Transcendental functions -- all functions from Python's math and
cmath modules, plus a few more like gamma, factorial, erf
* Complex numbers -- with support for transcendental functions
* Directed rounding -- floor, ceiling, down, up, half-down,
half-up, half-even
* Unlimited exponents -- no overflow or underflow
