Description

Mathematica 4 allows you to use and write numerical procedures that are not only efficient but also very general; they can work both with machine-hardware numbers and with arbitrary-precision software arithmetic. In this talk, I will explain some of the details behind how efficient machine-number and arbitrary-precision arithmetic and numerical functions work and will show, with a variety of examples, how you can write your own efficient and general programs.
