Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of numerical computation, enabling the approximate representation of real numbers in a format that balances range and precision. Its widespread applicability ...

This paper first exposes some of the defects in the interval arithmetic algorithms of Moore and Krückeberg. Then it identifies classes of problems on which these algorithms compute "optimum bounds".

Many people experience mathematics negatively. Many more students have difficulty in performing basic arithmetic operations that may ultimately exclude them from full participation in society (Moses, ...

New research finds girls and women more often use step-by-step algorithms, while boys and men use shortcuts. Accuracy is ...

Many communication and graphics applications are computation-intensive, yet no one has paid much attention to optimizing the hardware that implements mathematical functions. Traditional implementation ...

Ittay Weiss does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

A C implementation of Niederreiter's algorithm for factoring polynomials over F 2 is described. The most time-consuming part of this algorithm, which consists of setting up and solving a certain ...

The adoption of Alberta’s discovery math teaching techniques and curriculum has meant that in many Alberta elementary schools, teachers are discouraged from teaching the standard, time-honoured ways ...
