Lecture

Binary Representation of Real Numbers

Description

This lecture covers the binary representation of real numbers, highlighting the limitations of representing all real numbers exactly with a finite number of bits. Concepts such as absolute and relative errors in binary representation are discussed using examples like 0.375 and π. The lecture also explores fixed-point and floating-point representations, emphasizing the precision and errors associated with each method.
