[Haskell-beginners] High precision doubles

Is there anything in Haskell that can represent doubles with higher
precision than the regular kind? I'm working with formulas that
generate sets of values, and values that I know should be zero are
ending up as things like -7.105427357601002e-15 or
-1.7763568394002505e-14, which is causing all kinds of butterfly
effects.
I've heard of Rational, but I need to also work with irrational
numbers (namely, pi and anything that comes from cos and sin). What
other options do I have?
