Introduction

I am not going to compete with numerous books on numerical analysis. There are also a lot of good tutorials on the Internet.

This article gives some basics of the floating-point arithmetic supported by practical examples, recipes and tricks. This work was inspired by the excellent book by George E. Forsythe, Michael A. Malcolm, and Cleve B. Moler. Some of my own examples were replaced with similar examples from this book.

I am going to add more examples and tricks when they are ready for publication.
