libtommath

brew install libtommath v1.3.0 Unlicense

C library for arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic and number theory operations.

Why you might care

Lightweight, self-contained library for cryptographic or mathematical applications needing big-integer support without external dependencies. Used internally by other security libraries and as a build dependency for projects like mbed TLS. Single-header compilation available, though typically linked as a shared library.
