Description: This package provides types and functions for Maximum Accuracy Interval
        Arithmetic.
        
        The Interval Arithmetic is a mathematical tool for the solution of problems
        related to numerical errors, based on an algebraic system formed by all closed
        intervals of Real Line (or rectangles of Complex Plane) and operations defined
        on it. Rather than usual numerical algorithms, it's used interval algorithms
        producing intervals containing the correct answer as a result.
        
        The Maximum Accuracy, on the other hand, provides an axiomatic method for
        arithmetic operations performed in computers that capture essential properties
        associated with rounding.

        Currently only Real Intervals are available. No Complex Intervals, no Interval
        Vectors and Matrixes, and no extensions of basic functions. These will be our
        next work.
        
        It was developed in CIn/UFPE (Brazil) by Rafael Menezes Barreto
