Boost Multiprecision Library

Not much to say until I've tried using it.

+\begin{itemize}
+       \item ``The Multiprecision Library provides integer, rational and floating-point types in C++ that have more range and precision than C++'s ordinary built-in types.''
+       \item Specify number of digits for precision as a template argument.
+       \item Precision is fixed... {\bf possible approach to project:} Use \verb/boost::mpf_float<N>/ and increase \verb/N/ as more precision is required?
