Ep 018: Introduction to Floating-Point Binary and IEEE-754 Notation

Try to represent a decimal value like Avogadro's number, and you'll be taking up a lot of room on your paper. Well, very large (or very small) numbers could take up a lot of room in your computer's memory, so let's visit IEEE-754 representation to see one way to represent floating-point binary in memory.

Take aways: At the completion of this lesson, each student should be able to:
• convert between fixed-point binary and floating-point binary and
• map the elements of a floating-point binary value to IEEE-754 format.

I was very confused with this issue before watching your videos, unfortunately my teacher isn' t even a bit as good as you. Thank you so much for these great videos, you helped a Spanish 1st year physics student.

It would be better if you wore a darker shirt. Thanks for great content!
