This review is from: Decimal Computation (Hardcover)

This book is a collection of BCD computation techniques. That can be built with TTL CMOS LSI logic chips. I had a teacher in school tell us over and over you can't do that type of math in hardware; only in software.

Chapters are:

1> Introduction
2> Addition and Subtraction
3> Multiplication
4> Divison
5> Square Root
6> Logarithm and Exponetials
7> Trigonometric Functions
8> Hyperbolic Functions
9> Fixed Versus Floation-Point Operations
10> Review of Logic Circuits.

Apendices A,B, and C contain APL programs to generate the various tables in Chapters 3 to 8.
