Description

This lecture covers the representation of floating point numbers, round-off errors, and examples of loss of significance. It introduces the concepts of single and double precision, real number representation in a computer, and the dangers of overflow errors. The instructor demonstrates examples using MATLAB to illustrate the impact of floating point arithmetic on numerical computations.
