# = mathn
#
# mathn is a library for changing the way Ruby does math. If you need
# more precise rounding with multiple division or exponentiation
# operations, then mathn is the right tool. It makes sense to use this
# library if you can use it's late rounding. Mathn does not convert
# Fixnums into Floats as long as you do not convert it yourself.
# Instead of using Float as intermediate value it use Rational as
# value representation.
# operations, then mathn is the right tool.
#
# Example Fixnum with intermediate Float:
# Without mathn:
#
# 3 / 2 => 1 # Integer
#
# With mathn:
#
# 3 / 2 => 3/2 # Rational
#
# mathn features late rounding and lacks truncation of intermediate results:
#
# Without mathn:
#
# 20 / 9 * 3 * 14 / 7 * 3 / 2 # => 18
#
# Example: using mathn Fixnum/Rational:
# With mathn:
#
# require 'mathn'
# 20 / 9 * 3 * 14 / 7 * 3 / 2 # => 20
#
# == Usage
#
# To start using this library, simply:
#
# require "mathn"
#
# This will change the way division works for Fixnums, specifically
#
# 3 / 2
#
# will return +Rational+ (3/2) instead of the usual +Fixnum+ 1.
# When you require 'mathn' the libraries for Prime, CMath, Matrix and Vector
# are also loaded.
