	Mantissa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mantissa is also a novel by John Fowles.
		Mantissa is the name of a loose collection of ships which initially formed the base of the Yuhl/Goehl species/civilization in the Orphans of Earth Trilogy by Shawn Williams and Shane Dix.
		Mantissa is also the name of an Australian band of the early nineties (formerly known as Killing Time).

	Floating point computing device for simplifying procedures accompanying addition or subtraction by detecting whether ...
		The mantissa computing section is capable of executing the postprocessing of a mantissa and the rounding operation at the same time, thereby omitting the postprocessing of a mantissa.
		The four bits of the zeroth digit of the mantissa register 410 are connected to the input terminals of a NOR gate 710.
		This function is used in the event of addition or subtraction of the mantissa M. A second function is to add the rounding constant indicated by the signal on the signal line 106-3 to the content of the first mantissa register 410.

	Halfbakery: No mantissa floating numbers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The mantissa gives a certain number of the most significant bits of the number, and the exponent is the number of places to shift the binimal place by (left or right)
		Mantissa free numbers don't have this problem, thus I propose that for a given amount of bits and number range they can represent numbers more precisely.
		A lot of DSP modules use fractional mantissa (no exponent) representations in their computations to improve speed and to simplify hardware (at the cost of reduced numeric range and prescision).

	Floating-point arithmetic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The most significant mantissa bit is predictable, and is therefore not included, because the exponent of floating-point numbers in the JVM indicates whether or not the number is normalized.
		An exponent of all zeros indicates the mantissa is denormalized, which means the unstated leading bit is a zero instead of a one.
		This means that normalized mantissas multiplied by two raised to the power of -125 have an exponent field of 00000001, while denormalized mantissas multiplied by two raised to the power of -125 have an exponent field of 00000000.

	Cyborg or goddess: Postmodernism and its others in John Fowles's Mantissa College Literature - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This is in many respects a description that is strikingly applicable to the muse-figure in Mantissa, and yet, contrary to the traditional image of muse as nurturing of and responsive to the creative demands of the male artist, the cyborg is envisaged by Haraway as "the self feminists must code" (205).
		Another is that of the Cartesian concept of subjectivity which, in Mantissa, is aligned with realism, liberal humanism, and the masculinist mind of Miles Green, and set in opposition to postmodernism, poststructuralism, and the feminine body of Erato.
		The introductory epigraph to Mantissa comprises a quotation from Descartes: "I knew that I was a being whose whole essence or nature is confined to thinking, and which has no need of a place, nor depends on any material thing, in order to exist" (Fowles 1982, 5).

	22C:18, Lecture 18, Fall 1996
		The mantissa of this number is 6.02, and this mantissa is normalized so that it has one place ahead of the point (an alternate way to state the normalization rule is that the value of the mantissa, m, satisfies the rule 10.0 > m >= 1.0).
		In the place-value system, the sign bit of the mantissa is the -1's place, and while the next bit to the right is the 1/2's place, the bit to the right of that is the 1/4'ths place, and so on.
		The mantissa field in floating point numbers is frequently stored as a signed magnitude binary fraction, although it seems that every possible representation of the sign has been used at one time or another by some computer somewhere.

	Reduction of add-pipe logic by operand offset shift - Patent 7043516
		Each of shift-point detector 72's outputs is a vector that includes, for each mantissa position, a bit that indicates whether corresponding operand bits fit a pattern that could produce the most-significant one bit, or at least the zero bit to the immediate left of the most-significant one bit.
		9 circuit distinguishes between a "trigger," where the larger mantissa is a one and the smaller is a zero, and an apparent borrow, where the larger mantissa is a zero and the smaller is a one.
		If mantissa B in that example had been exactly 3.5 before truncation, so that the exact sum would have been 30.5 and thus equidistant between 30 and 31, then the round-to-nearest-even approach would round to 30 (the "nearest even") rather than 31, as the illustrated approach would.

	Dyadic (mantissa, exponent) `normalisation' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		It is possible, however, that a mantissa representing a very small value which could be `normalised' is ignored because one of the early digits are small but non-zero.
		The second approach is to add the first digit of the mantissa stream with half the second.
		If the absolute value of this sum is less than or equal to a half, the first two digits of the mantissa may be replaced by the digit representing twice this sum and the exponent decremented.

		The only thing that then still baffles me is the mantissa part, since I have been led to believe that this is always a positive number and thus isn't formed according to the two's complement rule.
		We'll let the mantissa have up to 5 significant figures of precision (that's 1 in front of the decimal point and 4 after), and have an exponent in the range -99..99.
		The key to this is realizing that the mantissa has to be between 1 and 2, and the exponent represents a power of 2 by which the mantissa is multiplied.

	Significand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Depending on the interpretation of the exponent, the significand may be considered to be an integer or a fraction.
		However, this use of mantissa is discouraged by the IEEE floating-point standard committee and by some professionals such as William Kahan and Donald Knuth, because it conflicts with the pre-existing usage of mantissa for the fractional part of a logarithm (see also common logarithm).
		The older meaning of mantissa is related to the IEEE's significand in that the fractional part of a logarithm is the logarithm of the significand for the same base, plus a constant depending on the normalization.

		However, since the leading bit in the mantissa is never stored, then there are actually 24 bits for the mantissa.

	22C:60 Notes, Chapter 10
		Binary floating-point number systems are generally structured identically, with an exponent expressed in binary and a mantissa expressed in binary, but the normalization rules that are used vary considerably, as do the choices for representation of the sign of the exponent and mantissa.
		Where the normalize routine shifted the mantissa left and decremented the exponent until the number was normalized, the floating to integer conversion routine will have to shift the mantissa right and increment the exponent until the exponent has the value 31.
		An exponent of zero is reserved for a mantissa of zero or for unnormalized (extraordinarily small) values, while an exponent of all ones is reserved for infinity (with a mantissa of zero) and for values that the IEEE calls NaNs, where NaN stands for not a number.
