====== Math 753: Floating-point numbers and arithmetic ======

Wikipedia has good documentation on binary representation of floating-point numbers

  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format | single precision, 32 bits]]
  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format | double precision, 64 bits]]
  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point#Floating-point_arithmetic_operations | floating-point arithmetic]]

Additionally, these Julia notebooks have nice viewable, interactive demos of floating point numbers and arithmetic from a Julian perspective.
