FloatingPointSystem¶
sf.spad line 78 [edit on github]
This category is intended as a model for floating point systems. A floating point system is a model for the real numbers. In fact, it is an approximation in the sense that not all real numbers are exactly representable by floating point numbers. A floating point system is characterized by the following: 1: base of the exponent. (actual implementations are usually binary or decimal) 2: precision of the mantissa (arbitrary or fixed) 3: rounding error for operations Because a Float is an approximation to the real numbers, even though it is defined to be a join of a Field and OrderedRing, some of the attributes do not hold. In particular associative("+"
) does not hold. Algorithms defined over a field need special considerations when the field is a floating point system.
