<h2 class="chapter">1 Introduction to GNU MPC</h2>
<p>GNU MPC is a portable library written in C for arbitrary precision arithmetic
on complex numbers providing correct rounding. It implements a multiprecision
equivalent of the C99 standard.
It builds upon the GNU MP and the GNU MPFR libraries.

<h3 class="section">1.1 How to use this Manual</h3>
<p>Everyone should read <a href="GNU-MPC-Basics.html#GNU-MPC-Basics">GNU MPC Basics</a>. If you need to install the library
yourself, you need to read <a href="Installing-GNU-MPC.html#Installing-GNU-MPC">Installing GNU MPC</a>, too.

<p>The remainder of the manual can be used for later reference, although it is
probably a good idea to skim through it.
