Break. As stated below, my examination period starts at June 10th and end at July 4th, so I would like to have a 10 days break in order to rest | |||
and clear up my mind. | |||

Continue with the algorithms' development. Given the four days per algorithm estimation, about 7 - 8 different algorithms should be created during this period. | Continue with the algorithms' development.

Milestone 2 : The goal for the end of this period will be to have a fully functioning multi-precision class ( or new basic numerical type ) and also a big enough arsenal of algorithms upon it. | Milestone 2 : The goal for the end of this period will be to have a fully functioning multi-precision class ( or new basic numerical type ) and also a big enough arsenal of algorithms upon it. | ||

Development methodology : | |||
A rough schedule that will be followed ( not necessarily in this order ) while developing the above algorithms will be : | |||
Step 1 : Check if there is some library based on GMP or MPFR implementing any of those algorithms and if this can be embedded on Octave. | |||
Step 2 : Study Octave's already implemented for double precision algorithms and see if they can be re-formed in order to support multiple precision. | |||
Step 3 : Check if there is any Fortran code implementing any of the required algorithms and if it can be used to add support for multiple precision. | |||
Step 4 : Implementing the algorithm from the scratch. This will be the final choice, and will be done only if there is no other way to implement an algorithm. | |||
Imponderables like illness, bad days, Internet going down globally and such stuff are considered by the above schedule, this is why a precise estimation of days per algorithm is not given. | Imponderables like illness, bad days, Internet going down globally and such stuff are considered by the above schedule, this is why a precise estimation of days per algorithm is not given. | ||

Despite that, I will keep coding during these days for about 5 - 6 hours everyday as stated above. Studying for the exams will be done the other hours of the day. | ||
