Overview
This text explains the fundamental principles of algorithms available for performing arithmetic operations on digital computers. These include basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in fixed-point and floating-point number systems as well as more complex operations such as square root extraction and evaluation of exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. The algorithms described are independent of the particular technology employed for their implementation.
Editorials
From The Critics
Concentrating on the underlying principles, this book explains the algorithms used in arithmetic operations on digital computers. It identifies the similarities between the different algorithms and provides guidance for selecting the appropriate algorithms for a given technology. Chapters cover conventional number systems, unconventional fixed-radix number systems, sequential algorithms for multiplication and division, binary floating-point numbers, fast addition, high-speed multiplication, fast division, division through multiplication, the evaluations of elementary functions, logarithmic number systems, and the residue number system. Koren teaches at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Booknews
