Precise Floating Point Maths

Who Ordered This?
This library implements some basic mathematical functions that use a fixed floating point algorithm to work around the imprecision in the IEEE 754 standard which Javascript uses for floating point numbers.
For example, the expression 1.1 + 0.1 will usually return a value something like 1.20000000000002, usually prompting the unwary developer to ask "Excuse me, is this a joke?"
If you use the add() function instead then the result will be 1.2. It's one preciser.
For the theory behind this, see https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html
These functions were originally adapted from the code in Sinful.js. They are now implemented as wrappers around Big.js.
Opinionated and Selfish Software
WARNING - People Who Share Their Source Code Do Not Owe You Anything!
This is OSS: Open Source Software that you can freely download, use and adapt if you want to. But here OSS also stands for Opinionated and Selfish Software.
It doesn't set out to please all the people, all the time. On the contrary, it is designed to please one person (me) most of the time. I wrote it to help me get my job done. If it helps you get your job done then great. But please don't complain if it doesn't do what you want. It's not my job to help you do your job.
