Review by Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo from the "Math Association of America's" book reviews website
Some reviews on the 1st
edition of the book
Major new features in this second edition :
- a chapter on multiple-precision calculations
- a chapter giving some examples of implementation
- a detailed presentation of Remez algorithm in Chapter 3
- new table-based methods (mainly the bipartite method) in Chapter 4.
- Tables of hardest-to-round values for several functions in double
precision in Chapter 10 (exp, exp2, log, log2 in the full range, sin,
cos, tan, arcsin, arccos and arctan in reduced domains).
