Summary
This book provides an easily accessible, yet detailed, discussion of computer arithmetic as mandated by the IEEE 754 floating point standard, arguably the most important standard in the computer industry. The result of an unprecedented cooperation between academic computer scientists and industry, the standard is supported by virtually every modern computer. Although the basic principles of IEEE floating point arithmetic have remained largely unchanged since the first edition of this book was…

Michael L. Overton
Michael L. Overton is a Silver Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He has served several terms on editorial boards of SIAM journals and was Editor-in-Chief of SIAM Journal on Optimization from 1995 to 1999. He is a SIAM Fellow and a Senior Fellow at the Simons Foundation. His research interests are at the interface of optimization and linear algebra, especially nonsmooth optimization problems involving eigenvalues, pseudospectra, stability and robust control. His longstanding interest in floating point arithmetic arose while teaching courses on numerical computing, leading him to write this book.
