SMU Office of Research & Tech Transfer - Have you ever followed a recipe to bake some bread? If you have, congratulations; you have executed an algorithm. The algorithms that follow us around the ...

This paper first exposes some of the defects in the interval arithmetic algorithms of Moore and Krückeberg. Then it identifies classes of problems on which these algorithms compute "optimum bounds".

Many communication and graphics applications are computation-intensive, yet no one has paid much attention to optimizing the hardware that implements mathematical functions. Traditional implementation ...

Many people experience mathematics negatively. Many more students have difficulty in performing basic arithmetic operations that may ultimately exclude them from full participation in society (Moses, ...

FCPS recently sent home math brochures describing what students in each grade will be learning this year. Unfortunately, these documents give the inaccurate impression that FCPS is committed to ...
