And, of course, the classic "What every computer scientist should know about floating-point arithmetic" by David Goldberg. That paper is so fundamental, the #ACM is granting free access to it. Go ahead and click on the pdf link to view it.

Here's a story about an angry carrot and a #floatingPoint fairy

How about we make this #FloatingPointFriday? Here's a gem I posted in another thread and that I regularly use to scare my students and to demonstrate to them the dangers of #floatingPoint. Every #IEEE 754 compliant #FPU will give the same answer. It allows me to talk about the fact that radix representations of a number may be finite in one base (10) and infinite in another (2). Then I throw in the fact that floating point numbers have #finitePrecision and that #machineEpsilon is a thing.
