Smallest double such that 1.
Smallest double such that 1.0 + EPSILON != 1.0, slightly above 2^-53. Also, known as the "machine epsilon".

Largest exponent a finite double variable may have.
Largest positive finite value of type double, 2^1023
Smallest exponent a normalized double variable may have.
Smallest positive normal value of type double, 2^-1022 (retains full precision). Also, the smallest double such that 1.0 / SAFE_MIN does not overflow.
Smallest positive nonzero value of type double, 2^-1074 (minimal precision).
Default tolerance should be much larger than the "machine epsilon".
Default tolerance should be much larger than the "machine epsilon". Application dependent => redefine as needed per application.
Return true if x == y approximately, i.
Return true if x == y approximately, i.e., the difference is less than TOL.
