  2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    If each subtraction is replaced with addition of the opposite (additive inverse), then the associative and commutative laws of addition allow terms to be added in any order. The radical symbol ⁠ t {\displaystyle {\sqrt {\vphantom {t}}}} ⁠ is traditionally extended by a bar (called vinculum ) over the radicand (this avoids the need for ...

  3. Saturation arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_arithmetic

    Saturation arithmetic is a version of arithmetic in which all operations, such as addition and multiplication, are limited to a fixed range between a minimum and maximum value. If the result of an operation is greater than the maximum, it is set ("clamped") to the maximum; if it is below the minimum, it is clamped to the minimum. The name comes ...

  4. Addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

    Addition (usually signified by the plus symbol, +) is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, the other three being subtraction, multiplication, and division. [2] The addition of two whole numbers results in the total amount or sum of those values combined. The example in the adjacent image shows two columns of three apples and two ...

  5. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    Elementary arithmetic is a branch of mathematics involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Due to its low level of abstraction , broad range of application, and position as the foundation of all mathematics, elementary arithmetic is generally the first branch of mathematics taught in schools.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    It is in Babylonian mathematics that elementary arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) first appear in the archaeological record. The Babylonians also possessed a place-value system and used a sexagesimal numeral system which is still in use today for measuring angles and time.

  7. Carry-select adder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry-select_adder

    In the conditional sum adder, the MUX level chooses between two n/2-bit inputs that are themselves built as conditional-sum adder. The bottom level of the tree consists of pairs of 2-bit adders (1 half adder and 3 full adders) plus 2 single-bit multiplexers. The conditional sum adder suffers from a very large fan-out of the intermediate carry ...

  8. Linear multistep method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_multistep_method

    Linear multistep methods are used for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. Conceptually, a numerical method starts from an initial point and then takes a short step forward in time to find the next solution point.

  9. Arithmetic logic unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_logic_unit

    This capability is commonly used in both fixed-point and floating-point addition and subtraction. In floating-point addition and subtraction, the significand of the smaller operand is right-shifted so that its fixed-point scale factor matches that of the larger operand. The ALU then adds or subtracts the aligned significands to produce a result ...
