β¦ Synopsis
Elementary introduction to problem of cumulative effect of rounding errors in a very large number of arithmetical calculationsβparticularly applicable to computer operations. Simple representative analyses illustrate techniques. Topics include fundamental arithmetic operations, computations involving polynomials and matrix computations. Results deal exclusively with digital computers but are equally applicable to desk calculators. Bibliography.
