contFracR-package {contFracR}

Functions to generate and evaluate continued fractions

Description

This package includes functions to convert a rational number to its continued fraction form, to convert any defined continued fraction to a numeric value, and to generate estimates of some common irrationals (e, pi, phi) via continued fraction representations. There's also a function which generates LaTeX code to draw the continued fraction itself.
