====== 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. * [[http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/url/www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/olver/teaching/MATH3976/notes/04.ipynb | Floating point numbers]] * [[http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/url/www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/olver/teaching/MATH3976/notes/05.ipynb | Rounding and floating-point artihmetic]] These notebooks are part of a series for [[http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/olver/teaching/MATH3976 | Julia notbooks for MATH3976, Numerical Computing]], by Sheehan Olver, University of Sydney.
