Float stuff like 1.f / (+0.f) = infinity and 1.f / (-0.f) = -infinity. And maybe complex number shenanigans and multi valued functions? Maybe someone familiar

And maybe complex number shenanigans and multi valued functions? Maybe someone familiar with mathematics can tell us more. :)
- wbl 3y agoThe best example on kahan's webpage is Borda's mouthpiece. Signed zero makes it look right, unsigned creates a singularity
- pclmulqdq 3y agoThere are actually very clear and technical numerical analysis reasons for all of the weird stuff that happens in IEEE 754. The zero behavior, in particular, is because of this sort of thing.
