> I would like to suggest a couple of additions to the Math module. I am currently working on code for an alternative to the BigDecimal class that allows for precise mathematical calculations. The PreciseNumber class and related classes allow for manipulation of digits in a floating point number to be manipulated in a manner similar to characters in a String. It also allows the fractional part and whole part of a number to be manipulated independently. The class also stores information about precision, significant digits, and allows leading a trailing zeros to be stored and manipulated.
> I'd also like to see a number class representing a double between greater than zero but less than 1. 
> I also have been doing some work on classes to represent angles, bearings, azimuths, vectors, and directions.
> I know there is concern about bloating the commons libraries, so I understand if there is no room for this code. :] I just wanted to follow up on a post I made to the commons mailing list.
