This book is written as an introduction to the theory of error-free
computation. In addition, we include several chapters that
illustrate how error-free com putation can be applied in practice.
The book is intended for seniors and first year graduate students
in fields of study involving scientific computation using digital
computers, and for researchers (in those same fields) who wish to
obtain an introduction to the subject. We are motivated by the fact
that there are large classes of ill-conditioned problems, and there
are numerically unstable algorithms, and in either or both of these
situations we cannot tolerate rounding errors during the numerical
computations involved in obtaining solutions to the problems. Thus,
it is important to study finite number systems for digital
computers which have the property that computation can be performed
free of rounding errors. In Chapter I we discuss single-modulus and
multiple-modulus residue number systems and arithmetic in these
systems, where the operands may be either integers or rational
numbers. In Chapter II we discuss finite-segment p-adic number
systems and their relationship to the p-adic numbers of Hensel
1908]. Each rational number in a certain finite set is assigned a
unique Hensel code and arithmetic operations using Hensel codes as
operands is mathe matically equivalent to those same arithmetic
operations using the cor responding rational numbers as operands.
Finite-segment p-adic arithmetic shares with residue arithmetic the
property that it is free of rounding errors."
