The library is similar to [bignumber.js](https://github.com/MikeMcl/bignumber.js/), but here
precision is specified in terms of significant digits instead of decimal places, and all
precision is specified in terms of significant digits rather than decimal places, and all
calculations are rounded to the precision (similar to Python's decimal module) rather than just
those involving division.
