-As a Java feature request, could I request feature 306? Underflow and overflow need to be eliminated from double and float.
There could be an associativefp option. It should also be the case that there should be a round half up for the decimal place beyond the last one in the float or double range, to help support all notions of
(pow(sqrt(3),2) == 3) //true
-The other thing that there should be is a StrictMath that works for BigInteger and BigDecimal, allowing:
pow(BigDecimal,BigDecimal) pi(...) e(...) sin(Bigdecimal) asin(Bigdecimal) ...
which would allow for any power at all, as well as the nth root. It is also a good idea to include a radians and degrees version of all the trig functions.
