Has anybody used bigfloat or mpmath in #Python? I need to raise some floats to power (50+) & currently getting overflow error 34 —ideas?

High powers are always suspect. Can you replace your variables by their logarithms? If you can, it's very probably the best choice.

@alexandersclark recommended although I have left it running with bigfloat. Do you think worth changing regardless?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

The issue is precision loss when you mix numbers with wildly different magnitudes. If you know that cannot happen, you should be OK

precision is not THAT important. Efficiency is way more so. V big data.
