Floating-Point Numbers
----------------------

Although mathematics deals with real numbers of infinite precision, these numbers must be represented in a computer using a finite number of digits. We examine ways in which this can be done effectively, and some of the problems and issues that arise in doing so.

Floating-Point Arithmetic - Hazards and Fixes
---------------------------------------------

Our exploration of floating-point arithmetic continues with an examination of common problems that can arise, and the ways in which these problems can be avoided.
