Lecture 1-2 | Decimal to Binary Conversion | Advanced Mathematical Methods for Engineers

Module 1 Overview In this module, you will learn about what type of numbers computers work with, how accurate computations are, and how this impacts the results of more complex numerical computations. Learning Objectives: By the end of this module, you will be able to: - demonstrate finite precision defined in IEEE-754 (half/single/double precision). - identify round-off vs truncation errors This lecture is under "Module 1: Round-off and Truncation Errors" Lecture 1-1: Binary to Decimal Conversion Lecture 1-2: Decimal to Binary Conversion (This Video) Lecture 1-3: Engineering Notation Lecture 1-4: IEEE-754 Lecture 1-5: Round-off Truncation and True Errors (Part 1) Lecture 1-6: Round-off Truncation and True Errors (Part 2)
