In this chapter we briefly review basic number representations and algorithms
used in digital arithmetic. The treatment is very concise; readers that need a more
detailed review should consult some of the references listed at the end of the
chapter. More advanced algorithms as well as the implementations are the topic
of later chapters.
1.1

Digital arithmetic encompasses the study of number representations, algorithms
for operations on numbers, implementations of arithmetic units in hardware, and
their use in general-purpose ...
