Numbers and computers /Ronald T. Kneusel. - 2nd ed. - Cham, Switzerland :Springer,c2017. - xiii, 346 p. :ill. ;25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Part I. Standard representations. Number systems -- Integers --Floating point -- Pitfalls of floating-point numbers (and how to avoid them) -- Part II. Other Representations. Big integers and rational arithmetic -- Fixed-point numbers -- Decimal floating point -- Interval arithmetic -- Arbitrary precision floating-point -- Other number systems.

This is a book about numbers and how those numbers are represented in and operated on by computers. Of course, numbers are fundamental to how computers operate because, in the end, everything a computer works with is a number. It is crucial that people who develop a code understand this area becasue 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 help by exploring, in sufficient, but not overwhelming, detail, just what it is that computers do with numbers. From preface.
