Re: sums with BIG numbers

Can anyone point me to any books, documentation or whatever that will explain the methods used in routines like bignum for doing sums with 'too-big' numbers.

I'm having a tough time trying to figure it out from the code ;-(

What do you mean? How big numbers are added (trivially easier than multiplication or division) or how it handles numbers that are too large for the variable's size?
