NOTES ON MODULAR NUMBER SYSTEMS
Abstract
The possibilities of modular number systems and their applicability to the design of digital computing machinery were investigated. In moduar numer sysems, the cary process is eliminated so that addition and multiplication operations can be completed in a single computer clock pulse time. Other mathematical operations, such as division, round-off, and number magnitude determination are much more complex to execute and generate problems not encountered in ordered number systems. The report consists of sixtysix independent research notes each of which is a theorem, concept, algorithm development, or similar mathematical tool in modular number system techniques. (Author)
