A related question I've wondered is, can you rearrange the formulae to reduce precision loss, without having to actually use more bits of precision in the data type?



Long time since I looked at this but you might be interested in:

IIRC it is calculating a few points at high precision and then estimating the rest.


Mandelbrot specifically, or computations in general? For the latter, absolutely yes. See Herbie for automated tool for doing it https://herbie.uwplse.org/
