This chapter introduces the concept of high performance mathematics. The chapter starts by explaining basic math in bases other than 10. It explains subtraction using complement mathematics. Next it gives efficient algorithms for performing signed and unsigned multiplication in binary. It explains how multiplication by a constant can often be converted into a much more efficient sequence of shift and add or subtract operations, and gives a method for multiplying two arbitrarily large numbers. Next, an efficient algorithm is given for binary division, followed by a technique for converting division by a constant into multiplication by a related constant. The next section introduces an ADT, written in C, ...
