28.21 Further Reading

The subject of floating-point arithmetic is much more complex than many programmers seem to think, and few books on programming languages spend much time in that area. In this chapter, we have tried to expose the reader to some of the key ideas, and to warn of easily overlooked pitfalls that can soon lead to nonsensical results. There are a few good references that we recommend for further reading, and for finding other important material about computer arithmetic:

We include URLs for these references when we were given them, when they are morally legitimate to recommend; we have omitted the URLs that are paywalled or that require running nonfree JavaScript code in order to function. We hope you can find morally legitimate sites where you can access these works.
