hello folks..
I'm doing a project related to 8051 micro controller, it is required to
handle floating point numbers to a great precision.
is there any way with which this can be done easily with 8051 or is there
any mathematical controller that can do a better job?
please let me know..

regards,
yasha...

Any reasonable micro can do it to whatever precision you like (limited
only by available RAM to store the numbers). Some of the operations
are going to scale in required time by the number of bits squared, so
if you need 64 or 128 bit mantissas you're going to wait a bit for the
results, but it can be made to work.
