1 GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating
2 on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating-point numbers.
3 There is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied
4 by the available memory in the machine GMP runs on.
5 GMP has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular
6 interface.
8 The main target applications for GMP are cryptography applications
9 and research, Internet security applications, algebra systems,
10 computational algebra research, etc.
