Hi Benjamin, Brick\Math looks awesome. I really like the static initializers and descriptive method names. I recognize some of the patterns from OpenJDK's BigDecimal source. :)
The major difference to me is scale vs precision, ie. number of significant digits vs number of digits behind the decimal point. Not sure which is better, just noticing the difference. Your production is so good, by the way. I really appreciate it.
