63.1.5 Pseudocomplex Numbers

Pseudocomplex numbers are the poor man’s version of MPC. Its implementation is based on MPFR which must be available therefore. The representation of complex numbers follows the one used in MPC, namely in the form ‘a+bi’. Complex numbers are internally stored by two independent MPFR floats.

Pseudocomplex numbers are gratis whenever MPFR is provided on a system. They are contained and maintained within the SXEmacs source distribution and hence inherit the licence of SXEmacs.
