Chapter 1

p. 4, l. 8:  apparition -> appearance

p. 5, l. 11:  functions or more -> functions of more

p. 15: algorithm [78] The reader -> algorithm [78]. The reader

p. 17: conventional, nonredundant binary system -> conventional, nonredundant, binary system

Chapter 4

Chapter 5

p. 77, the reference to Theorem 5.5 should be a reference to Theorem 5.

p. 79  - first complete sentence. Summation should be in terms of  "n = 0 to inf " rather than "k=0 to inf".

p. 81, the 3rd line should read

0 \leq \ell - t_n ...

and not

0 \leq t - t_n ...

p. 101, Equation (6.1) should read   z_{n+1} = z_n - d_n \arctan 2^{-n} and not   z_{n+1} = z_n - \arctan 2^{-n} p. 105, Equation (6.11) should read   z_{n+1} = z_n - d_n w_{\sigma(n)} and not   z_{n+1} = z_n - w_{\sigma(n)}

Chapter 8

p. 147, in Table 8.2: casio FX-702P -> Casio FX-702P

p. 148, in footnote 3, I wrote "To my knowledge, there is no current computer with such a poor arithmetic".  Many Cray computers have had subtraction without a guard bit.

p. 153: print(numberofdigits,l) -> print('numberofdigits',l)

p. 155, there is an error in the bits of 4/pi starting from bit 33 (I won't give the same of the software with which I got the wrong value). The right value is:
