Muller, Jean-Michel
Elementary functions. Algorithms and implementation. (English)
[B] Boston: Birkhäuser. xv, 204 p. DM 118.00; öS 862.00; sFr. 98.00 (1997). ISBN 0-8176-3990-X/hbk

Every mathematician knows how to calculate the elementary functions with arbitrary precision. It is another question to design hardwired algorithms that realize those functions efficienctly within a given machine architecture so that, if possible, all digits of the result are significant. The book gives an instructive overview of the -- partially rather sophisticated -- material for those interested in background knowledge of their computer as well as for those having to design software or computing machinery.
