Approximations and Rounding Errors
{"Image DocumentName": "Approximations and Rounding Errors", "Image ImageDescription": "Precautions: Sums of large and small numbers: due to equaling the exponent. They are common in sums of infinite series where the individual terms are very small when compared with the accumulated sum. This error can be reduced by summing first the small terms and using double precision. Cancellation of the subtraction: The subtraction of very similar numbers. Smearing: The individual terms are larger than the total sum. Inner products: They are prone to rounding errors. Thus, it is convenient to use double precision in this type of calculations. E. T. S.
