This is a book about numbers and how those numbers are represented
in and operated on by computers. 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 details several other number
representations. Each chapter ends with exercises to review the key
points. Topics covered include interval arithmetic, fixed-point
numbers, floating point numbers, big integers and rational
arithmetic. This book is for anyone who develops software including
software engineerings, scientists, computer science students,
engineering students and anyone who programs for fun.
