BigAl

BigAl is a free and platformindependent software. BigAl is written entirely in Java. With BigAl you can calculate really BIG numbers with an accuracy your DESKTOP CALCULATOR is still dreaming of. The only restriction is the power of your computer! Not only basic calculations are supported, but also special functions like Factorial, Fibonacci, LUCAS-sequence, periods, fraction reducing, square root, nth root, generation of random numbers, sum of the Digits, binomial coefficient calculation, factorize function, bit oriented functions and many more. In February 2001, I wanted to know the exact result of the factorial of one million. BigAl was born and both many CPU cycles and months later I knew the exact result. Since the beginning, BigAl was able to handle numbers stored in files. Meanwhile a lot of functions has been added and a few of them got a much better performance. BigAl uses the Java classes called BigInteger and BigDecimal. Here are some examples and a short description of the usage to demonstrate the program. BigAl can also be used to simulate a high load on your computer ;-)
