The big number types in `Boost.Multiprecision` can be used with a wide selection of basic
mathematical operations, elementary transcendental functions as well as the functions in Boost.Math. The Multiprecision types can
also interoperate with the built-in types in C++ using clearly defined conversion rules. This allows `Boost.Multiprecision` to be
used for all kinds of mathematical calculations involving integer, rational and floating-point types requiring extended range and precision.

requiring extended range and precision.
Multiprecision consists of a generic interface to the mathematics of large numbers as well as a selection of big number back ends, with
support for integer, rational and floating-point types. `Boost.Multiprecision` provides a selection of back ends delivered off-the-rack in
including interfaces to GMP, MPFR, MPIR, TomMath as well as its own collection of Boost-licensed, header-only back ends for integers,
rationals, floats and complex. In addition, user-defined back ends can be created and used with the interface of Multiprecision,

rationals, floats and complex.
In addition, user-defined back ends can be created and used with the interface of Multiprecision,
presuming that the class implementation adheres to the necessary concepts.
Depending upon the multiprecision type, precision may be arbitrarily large (limited only by available memory),
