What is the mantissa of a floating point number?
The mantissa - also known as a significand or coefficient - is the part of a floating-point number which contains the significant digits of that number. In the common IEEE 754 floating point standard, the mantissa is represented by 53 bits of a 64-bit value (double) and 24 bits of a 32-bit value (single).
Square root of a double complex number?
Do you mean like a double floating point number, which is a complex number; or a double matrix type number like in the related link on springerlink.com
What is a precision number?
A Precision Number is the number of digits in a number.
How can the decimal real number 1385.58 be represented as a 6-digit integer in floating point notation?
138558 x 10-2
How are precise and accurate measurements evaluated?
precision and accuracy are defined terms in science.Accuracy is the closeness of a given result to the true value of a measurement. Precision of a result is represented by the scatter of a number of measurements.True value is the average of a number of careful measurements by different experimenters, using different measuring systems. (consider the height of a mountain for example.)Resolution is merely the number of digits in the answer, and of which several may be meaningless.
