Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? If you lurk on embedded C forums for much time at all you will run into a question like this: “Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? I do a few ...

Floating-point arithmetic can be expensive if you're using an integer-only processor. But floating-point values can be manipulated as integers, asa less expensive alternative. One advantage of using a ...

When you think about it, it's surprising how many programming tasks don't require the use of floating point numbers. If you're an embedded systems programmer, you'd ...

A new preferred point geometric structure for statistical analysis, closely related to Amari's α-geometries, is introduced. The added preferred point structure is seen to resolve the problem that ...

Recently Colin Walls had an article on this site about floating point math. Once it was common for embedded engineers to scoff at floats; many have told me they have no place in this space. That’s ...

If you are used to writing software for modern machines, you probably don’t think much about computing something like one divided by three. Modern computers handle floating point quite well. However, ...
