X Abstract

The vast use of computers on scientific numerical computation makes the awareness of the limited precision that these machines are able to provide us an essential matter. A limited and insufficient precision allied to the truncation and rounding errors may induce the user to incorrect interpretation of his/hers answer. In this work, we have developed a computational package to minimize this kind of error by offering arbitrary precision numbers and calculation. This is very important in Physics where we can work with numbers too small and too big simultaneously.
