Item description from seller

Graphs; This book is in Very Good+ condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. There is a previous owner's inked name stamp on the front endpaper. Even as late as the early 1980's getting computers to work with (and understand correctly) how to do arithmetic problem solving was still not a sure thing. This book covers some new (to that point) theories of computer arithmetic and also the implementation of arithmetic on computers. "Central to this treatise is the concept of semimorphism. Properties of this concept are directly derivable from the diverse models that we study here. The concept of semimorphism supplies an ordering principle that permits the whole treatise to be understood and developed in close analogy to principles of geometry, whereby the mapping properties of a semimorphims replace those of a group of transformations in a geometry." (from Wikipedia).
