It is crucial that developers understand this area because the numerical operations allowed by computers, and the limitations of those operations, especially in the area of floating point math, affect virtually everything people try to do with computers. This book aims to fill this gap by exploring, in sufficient but not overwhelming detail, just what it is that computers do with numbers. Divided into two parts, the first deals with standard representations of integers and floating point numbers, while the second examines several other number representations. Details are explained thoroughly, with clarity and specificity. Each chapter ends with a summary, recommendations, carefully selected references, and exercises to review the key points. Topics covered include interval arithmetic, fixed-point numbers, big integers and rational arithmetic. This new edition has three new chapters: Pitfalls of Floating-Point Numbers (and How to Avoid Them), Arbitrary Precision Floating Point, and Other Number Systems. This book is for anyone who develops software including software engineers, scientists, computer science students, engineering students and anyone who programs for fun. 606 $aComputer arithmetic and logic units 606 $aNumerical analysis 606 $aArithmetic and Logic Structures$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I12026 606 $aNumeric Computing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I1701X 615 0$aComputer arithmetic and logic units. 615 0$aNumerical analysis. 615 14$aArithmetic and Logic Structures. 615 24$aNumeric Computing. 676 $a512.7 700 $aKneusel$b Ronald T$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0992662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254839903321 996 $aNumbers and Computers$92516471 997 $aUNINA
