Finite Precision Number Systems and Arithmetic
Author: Peter Kornerup
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 113964355X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 717
Book Description
Fundamental arithmetic operations support virtually all of the engineering, scientific, and financial computations required for practical applications, from cryptography, to financial planning, to rocket science. This comprehensive reference provides researchers with the thorough understanding of number representations that is a necessary foundation for designing efficient arithmetic algorithms. Using the elementary foundations of radix number systems as a basis for arithmetic, the authors develop and compare alternative algorithms for the fundamental operations of addition, multiplication, division, and square root with precisely defined roundings. Various finite precision number systems are investigated, with the focus on comparative analysis of practically efficient algorithms for closed arithmetic operations over these systems. Each chapter begins with an introduction to its contents and ends with bibliographic notes and an extensive bibliography. The book may also be used for graduate teaching: problems and exercises are scattered throughout the text and a solutions manual is available for instructors.

Book Description
Excerpt from Project of a New System of Arithmetic: Weight, Measure and Coins, Proposed to Be Called the Tonal System, With Sixteen to the Base The introduction of the decimal system of weight, measure, and coins, is steadily progressing in most parts of the world, but when or wherever it is first proposed, it meets with many natural and reasonable objections. The inconvenience of the decimal arithmetic is well known, and better bases for the same have been frequently proposed, but there has not, that I am aware of, been made any earnest attempt, by proper authority, to introduce a system that would in all its bearings constitute the greatest possible simplicity and efficacy, nor to remove the principal objections to the decimal arithmetic. Questions may arise, first, what are the difficulties and objections? And secondly, how can they be removed and overcome!

Advanced Topics in the Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves
Author: Joseph H. Silverman
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461208513
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
In the introduction to the first volume of The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves (Springer-Verlag, 1986), I observed that "the theory of elliptic curves is rich, varied, and amazingly vast," and as a consequence, "many important topics had to be omitted." I included a brief introduction to ten additional topics as an appendix to the first volume, with the tacit understanding that eventually there might be a second volume containing the details. You are now holding that second volume. it turned out that even those ten topics would not fit Unfortunately, into a single book, so I was forced to make some choices. The following material is covered in this book: I. Elliptic and modular functions for the full modular group. II. Elliptic curves with complex multiplication. III. Elliptic surfaces and specialization theorems. IV. Neron models, Kodaira-Neron classification of special fibers, Tate's algorithm, and Ogg's conductor-discriminant formula. V. Tate's theory of q-curves over p-adic fields. VI. Neron's theory of canonical local height functions.
