Thanks for your input :) This will be extremelly useful, and the factorial rules are not that problematic. Only thing is that if you are going to deal with big numbers, then you might want to look at bcmath and/or gmp, which is what I use for Math_Integer and Math_Fibonacci. Will look at your code over the weekend. Cheers. -- Jesus M.
