For example, computers’ limited memory makes them unable to compute real numbers. So, when a computer program attempts continuous mathematics, it must use floating-point arithmetic, which looks to the ...

Daniel Ansari reviews the neurobiology of basic number processing and discusses how, in humans, systems of basic numerical-magnitude processing and representation are changed through development ...

The project explores the effects of spatial representations of number magnitude on children's learning of advanced arithmetic strategies, a key predictor of math achievement. A series of studies will ...

ABSTRACT Visual representation has been recognized as a powerful learning tool in many learning domains. Based on the assumption that visual representations can support deeper understanding, we ...

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team discusses a recent presentation by John Gustafson on Next Generation Computer Arithmetic. “A new data type called a “posit” is designed for direct drop-in ...
