Hello:
Currently, I am trying to solve a problem that requires the
calculation of Airy functions for big arguments. Because Airy
functions diverge rapidly for positive values, the results of the
calculation quickly produces overflow (or underflow depending on which
Airy function is used) for values of the argument greater than about
100 when using double. Because of this, I need to find a routine that
calculates Airy function producing results of type long double. Can
anyone make any suggestions??? I have tried GNU's GSL library, which
works with long doubles in most functions, but unfortunately, it
doesn't work with long doubles for special functions. Thanks...

Why not do the obvious: take your current implementation and replace
double by long double in a consistent manner?
You may also want to check whether long double provides an extended range
on your platform. Many implementations treat double and long double
identically (same range and same precision).
One word of caution: most of the time, throwing more precision/range
at a problem is not the right solution, unless you know what you're
doing.

I suggest getting a library of high-precision fp subroutines. There are several
on the Web in various languages. See, e.g. D.M. Smith, "Using multiple-precision
arithmetic" in Computing in Science & Engineering, July-Aug. 2003. Smith uses
FORTRAN, but there are C libraries available.

Well, the project I am working on has now come to a screeching halt! I
have been developing a program that heavily utilizes ADO.NET record
sets. To generate reports, I convert the recordset to XML, and then
apply an XSLT to transform the XML into HTML. This works great (or
did) until today. I just found out that the "number-format" command in
XSLT can't handle scientific notation! So when I try to format these
numbers I just get "NaN" on...

Dim lngWeights as long, lngBuckets as Long
Const STDWEIGHTS = 12
lngBuckets = 1000
lngWeights = lngBuckets * STDWEIGHTS
This causes an Overflow error. For lower values it works. Obviously the
result of 36000 is more than an Integer can take, but not a Long?? Yes, I
did double-check my code.

Hello,
I have heard that one should avoid using float and double in monetary
calculation because of the lack of preciseness.
What is a good alternative?
Thanks

Hi all,
Math is not my strongest area so forgive me if I use some of the wrong
terminology.
It seems that scientific notation is immune to rounding errors. For
example:
(4.98 * 100) + 5.51 // returns 503.51000000000005, rounding error!
4.98e2 + 5.51 // returns 503.51, correct!

Hi,
I setprecision to be 100 for both cases. I'm wondering why the number
of digits are different.
Also, for a double number, I think any digits that are longer than 15
(or 16) are not meaningful, because it exceed the double number's
precision limit. Even if I setprecision to be 100, shall it truncate
the number to be of 15(or 16) digits?

Okay, I was asked by a friend about the result of this limit:

Not n->zero but n-> + infinite
I really know nothing about advanced math, so I wrote a C program to help me:
(BTW, I guess the result would be ln2.)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
