Why no fractions? If you are worried about loss of precision caused by floating-point numbers, you can use exact fractions. For instance, there is "mpq" in GMP (for C), the "fractions" module in Python's stdlib, or you could hand-write a small fractions library yourself.

Agreed. It's a sort of silly constraint. Not truly necessary. But, there are other aspects of the project that make it much easier to completely and utterly do away with floating point.
