Originally the library contained a document, `tommath.pdf`, which describes the goals of the project and many of the algorithms used at the time.
This document has been removed since it can't be built anymore and nobody spent the time to fix and update it.
The latest valid update to that document was done in version [`0.39`](https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/releases/tag/0.39) of the library and it is contained within that tarball.
The project can be build by using `make`. Along with the usual `make`, `make clean` and `make install`,
there are several other build targets, see the makefile for details.
