While desktop computers have tons of computing power and storage, some small CPUs don’t have a lot of space to store things. What’s more is some CPUs don’t do multiplication and division very well.

The value of pi — the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter — has been calculated anew on a super computer, adding 12.8 trillion new decimal digits to its roster, for a total of 62.8 ...

Last year, a Japanese mathematician and a U.S. grad student smashed the world record for calculating the value of Pi. After a manic 371 days of computing, Shigeru Kondo and Alexander Yee reached 10 ...

In a recent work [6], Borwein and Borwein derived a class of algorithms based on the theory of elliptic integrals that yield very rapidly convergent approximations to elementary constants. The author ...

A decimal number is any number made up of the digits 0 to 9. This can include whole numbers and numbers less than 1. You can use a decimal point to show which digits are whole numbers and which are ...

Editor's Note: This is the first article in a two-part series on decimal representations and decimal arithmetic in general, and on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) in particular. In this first installment, ...
