Double-Rounding and Implications for Numeric Computations
By Cleve Moler, MathWorks
The MATLAB® eps
function returns the distance from 1.0 to the next largest double-precision number.
In this article, published in 1990, Cleve Moler uses this value to explore the concepts of extended precision and double-rounding in numeric computations.
