  Cube - Wikipedia
The cube is a special kind of square prism and of triangular trapezohedron[?], and is dual to the octahedron.
A cube can be inscribed in a dodecahedron so that each vertex of the cube is a vertex of the dodecahedron and each edge is a diagonal of one of the dodecahedron's faces; taking all such cubes gives rise to the regular compound of five cubes.
In arithmetics and algebra, the cube of an entity x is the result of multiplying it with itself two times.

 Arithmetic Summary
Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics concerned with the numerical manipulation of numbers using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the extraction of roots.
Arithmetic or arithmetics (from the Greek word αριθμός = number) is the oldest and simplest branch of mathematics, used by almost everyone, for tasks ranging from simple daily counting to advanced science and business calculations.
Algorism comprises all of the rules of performing arithmetic computations using a decimal system for representing numbers in which numbers written using ten symbols having the values 0 through 9 are combined using a place-value system (positional notation), where each symbol has ten times the weight of the one to its right.

The main architectural enhancements over the previous generation are the availability of local addressing on each node, the support of floating-point (FP) arithmetics in double precision and for complex data types, and the realisation of a multiple SIMD architecture.
The arithmetic processor (called "Jmille") supports several data types: Floating-point normal operations (a*b + c) are implemented for 32- and 64-bit IEEE format, as well as for single precision complex and vector (pairs of 32-bit) operands.
The local address generation unit, which is independent of the arithmetic operations of Jmille, combines the global address received from Tmille with a local address offset on the node.

Leonardo cannot be regarded as the inventor of that very great variety of truths for which he mentions no earlier source.
The Liber abaci, which fills 459 printed pages, contains the most perfect methods of calculating with whole numbers and with fractions, practice, extraction of the square and cube roots, proportion, chain rule, finding of proportional parts, averages, progressions, even compound interest, just as in the completest mercantile arithmetics of our days.
Among the contents of this book we simply mention a trigonometrical chapter, in which the words sinus versus arcus occur, the approximate extraction of cube roots shown more at large than in the Liber abaci, and a very curious problem, which nobody would search for in a geometrical work, viz.

Indeed, it proposes a generalization of the conventional arithmetic freed from the rigorous counting requirements specific of the sapiens, in the same way as geometry was generalized by freeing it from Euclid's postulate required for the measurement of the human properties.
Such is nevertheless the case of the arithmetic carried out by Nature on the scale of quantum micro-physics, the counting of which is affected by a bug that one could refer to as a dual bug.

Given such situation, the z-fail shadowing algorithm is shadowing the inner faces of the cube, which techniqually is correct becase the inner surfaces [ the back faces ] are inside the shadow volume, but I AM NOT SUPPOSE TO SEE the shadows on the inner faces, isn't it.

Although instrinsically beautiful, these figures link us through Plato - one of the key figures in Western thought - to the most ancient intellectual tradition on the one hand, and to the most recent thinking on the other; they are applicable to the cellular structure of viruses, to engineering construction and to many other applications.
The little-known fact that the entire geometry of the Platonic solids results, like the natural musical scale, from the simple ratios of the first three whole numbers - one, two and three - is of such elegance that it is a perpetual source of wonder and deserves to be better appreciated.

 ALIAS, a System Solving Library Based on Interval Analysis
Interval arithmetics is a well known method that enables one to compute bounds for almost any analytically defined expression F(X), being given ranges for the unknowns.
The interval obtained by applying interval arithmetics on a mathematical expression is called the ‘interval evaluation’ of the expression and can be implemented so that numerical round-off errors are taken into account, ie the interval evaluation will always include the exact value of the mathematical expression for any instance of the unknowns within their ranges.
