[sage-support] Fixed Point arithmetic

2010-08-24 Thread Jeroen Demeyer
Hello, Is there any support in Sage for fixed point arithmetic? That is, computing with real numbers with a fixed number of bits after the decimal point? If it doesn't exist, it probably wouldn't be too hard to implement on top of MPIR. Jeroen. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-sup
