Provides support for big integer calculations. Not intended to be used
by other modules. Other modules which sport the same functions can
also be used to support Math::BigInt, like Math::BigInt::GMP or
Math::BigInt::Pari.
This module adds big number support to Math::Symbolic. It does so by
extending the parser of the Math::Symbolic module (that is, the one stored
in $Math::Symbolic::Parser) with certain special functions that create
arbitrary precision constants. (Math::Symbolic::Variable objects have been
able to contain arbitrary precision objects since the very beginning.)
This module adds complex number support to Math::Symbolic. It does so by
extending the parser of the Math::Symbolic module (that is, the one stored
in $Math::Symbolic::Parser) with certain special functions that create
complex constants. (Math::Symbolic::Variable objects have been able to
contain complex number objects since the very beginning.)
This module extends the functionality of Math::Symbolic by offering
facilities to compile symbolic math trees (formulas) to C code. It also
uses Inline::C to compile and link the generated C code at run-time, thus
allowing the user to do symbolic calculations in Perl with Math::Symbolic
and then use the results in a fast numeric environment.
This software generates code. Code generators are difficult to test, but
the first release of the module is now 1.5 years old and I haven't
received any bug reports, so I consider it somewhat stable now.
Please read the manpage of Math::Symbolic::Compiler which comes with the
Math::Symbolic distribution. Most of the gotchas involved with compiling
the functions to Perl subroutines also apply to this module which compiles
to C instead.
Alternatively, you can use the module not for faster calculations from
your Perl program, but to generate C code for you. I have used it to
generate an implementation for (many!) Zernike Polynomials for work in C.
Math::BigRat complements Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat by providing
support for arbitrary big rational numbers.
p5-Math-Polygon is a perl class provides an OO interface around
Math::Polygon::Calc and Math::Polygon::Clip.
Math::Bezier is a perl interface to solve Bezier curves.
Math::Utils provides ueful mathematical functions not in Perl.
Math::GMP is a perl interface to the high-speed arbitrary size integer
math library libgmp (GNU MP lib).
Math::Int128 adds support for 128 bit integers, signed and unsigned, to Perl.
