520 $a""John Gustafson's book The End of Error presents the ideas of computer arithmetic in a very easy-to-read and understandable form. While the title is provocative, the content provides an illuminating discussion of the issues. The examples are engaging, well thought out, and simple to follow.""--Jack Dongarra, University Distinguished Professor, University of Tennessee""John Gustafson presents a bold and brilliant proposal for a revolutionary number representation system, unum, for scientific (and potentially all other) computers. Unum's main advantage is that computing with these numbers gives.
