This highly comprehensive handbook provides a substantial advance
in the computation of elementary and special functions of
mathematics, extending the function coverage of major programming
languages well beyond their international standards, including full
support for decimal floating-point arithmetic. Written with clarity
and focusing on the C language, the work pays extensive attention
to little-understood aspects of floating-point and integer
arithmetic, and to software portability, as well as to important
historical architectures. It extends support to a future 256-bit,
floating-point format offering 70 decimal digits of precision.
Select Topics and Features: references an exceptionally useful,
author-maintained MathCW website, containing source code for the
book's software, compiled libraries for numerous systems, pre-built
C compilers, and other related materials; offers a unique approach
to covering mathematical-function computation using decimal
arithmetic; provides extremely versatile appendices for interfaces
to numerous other languages: Ada, C#, C++, Fortran, Java, and
Pascal; presupposes only basic familiarity with computer
programming in a common language, as well as early level algebra;
supplies a library that readily adapts for existing scripting
languages, with minimal effort; supports both binary and decimal
arithmetic, in up to 10 different floating-point formats; covers a
significant portion (with highly accurate implementations) of the
U.S National Institute of Standards and Technology's 10-year
project to codify mathematical functions. This highly practical
text/reference is an invaluable tool for advanced undergraduates,
recording many lessons of the intermingled history of computer
hardw are and software, numerical algorithms, and mathematics. In
addition, professional numerical analysts and others will find the
handbook of real interest and utility because it builds on research
by the mathematical software community over the last four decades.
