using logs of a number is a good idea to make floats smaller

debugging

add a small epsolian
change precision to test
change rounding method to see if rounding errors are happening

Sometimes single precision is useful, even now. (high memory applications, better data repersation, GPUs, etc.)

Get it right then optimize it. But always plan to optimize it later.
