Chapter Chapter 7 in Handbook of Floating-Point Arithmetic, 2018, pp 233-266 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Among the many operations that the IEEE 754 standards specify (see Chapter 3 ), we will focus here and in the next two chapters on the five basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square root. We will also study the fused multiply-add (FMA) operator. We review here some of the known properties and algorithms used to implement each of those operators. Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 will detail some examples of actual implementations in, respectively, hardware and software.
