>                 Key: MATH-476
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-476
>             Project: Commons Math
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.2, 3.0
>            Reporter: Sebb
>            Priority: Minor

> The FastMath class contains quite a few 'magic' numbers, not all of which are explained/documented.
> For example, how is the number (-)4503599627370496.0 calculated?
> IMO, all magic numbers should be replaced by constants with a descriptive name and explanatory Javadoc.
