Floating point is ubiquitous in computers, where it is the default way to represent non-integer numbers. However, few people understand it. We all see weird behavior sometimes, and many programmers treat it as a mystical and imprecise system of math that just works until it sometimes doesn’t. We hear that we shouldn’t trust floating point with money, we know that 0.1 + 0.2 does not equal 0.3, and “NaN” shows up in our logs when things break. We rarely hear why any of this is the case, and less about what to do about it. This book pulls back the veil on floating point and shows how this number system we program with every day works. It discusses how to leverage the number system for common calculations, particularly in graphics and simulations, and avoid pitfalls. Further, we will review methods that can give you either better performance or better accuracy on tasks like numerical integration and function approximation, so you can learn to make the right tradeoffs in your programs.

Run faster! This book is about speeding up C++ for low latency programming in multithreaded environments and sequential code in C++ backends. Low latency programming is coding an algorithm so that it completes the task in the fastest time. In many cases, this is effectively the “user response time” or the “round-trip time” for a computation. The main uses of low latency programming include: • AI kernels — latency is the time between submitting a query, and starting to get the answer back; • Embedded devices — the system must respond quickly, in real time (e.g., autonomous self-driving cars are a large embedded device); • High-Frequency Trading (HFT) — latency is the time it takes to submit, execute, and complete a trade; • Game engines — latency is ensuring that the characters or environment moves fast enough to be responsive to user inputs and to keep up with the frame rate. Game engines have historically been written in C++, at least for all the low-level stuff dealing with frame rates and 3D animation. Similarly, high-frequency trading is usually running in C++ at the bottom level. You can also use C, which is the longstanding precursor to C++. The C programming language is obviously fast, as that was its key design point. C is not necessarily any faster than C++, so if you used only a C-like subset of C++, the two would be the same speed.

Python Experiments in Physics and Astronomy acts as a resource for science and engineering students or faculty who would like to see how a diverse selection of topics can be analyzed and simulated using Python programs. The book also provides Python solutions that can be learned from and modified as needed. The book is mainly aimed at undergraduates, but since many science students and faculty have limited exposure to scientific programming, having a collection of examples that address curve-fitting, Fast Fourier Transforms, image photometry and image alignment, and many others could be very helpful not just for learning from, but also to support classroom projects and demonstrations. The code examples were written in Python, and use popular supporting libraries such as Matplotlib, Pandas, Numpy, Math, Itertools, and Scikit.
