Very superficial look at computer arithmetic
Although the author does a good job at explaining arithmetic in the areas of RNS and SD arithmetic, the other topics are done very superficially. The book is a good reference, but you can find better books on understanding computer arithmetic.

The WORST book there is!
I think 2 stars rating for this book are more than it deserves.
I've bought many technical books and learned them on my own but
I've never seen a book that is so bad. Having this as class text
book and coupling with a not so good instructor, you really gets
it coming. PLEASE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK!
there many good books on this subject out there, don't torture
yourself and waste money on this terrible book. The bottom line is, the
author tries to make subjects more complicated than they
really are.

An excellent book for the ASIC architect.
I found this book to be extremely helpful in my every-day work. No where else have I found such a concise and accurate description of hardware-friendly number systems and arithmetic algorithms. It's the first place I go when I have a an arithmetic-intensive algorithm to architect. Simply put, my designs got better after I got this book.
