/* LibTomMath, multiple-precision integer library -- Tom St Denis
*
* LibTomMath is library that provides for multiple-precision
* integer arithmetic as well as number theoretic functionality.
*
* The library is designed directly after the MPI library by
* Michael Fromberger but has been written from scratch with
* additional optimizations in place.
*
* The library is free for all purposes without any express
* guarantee it works.

* Result found such that (c)**b <= a and (c+1)**b > a

* x[i+1] = x[i] - f(x[i])/f'(x[i])
* which will find the root in log(N) time where
* each step involves a fair bit. This is not meant to
* find huge roots [square and cube, etc].
