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.
