The algorithms presented in this book directly manage numbers. However, they are often referred to as "semi-numeric" due to the fact that they lie on the boundary between numerical and symbolic computations.
Each algorithm not only computes the desired answers to a numerical problem but also aims to adapt appropriately to the internal processes of a digital computer. In many cases, people are unable to appreciate the beauty of such an algorithm unless they have some knowledge of the machine language of the computer.
The efficiency of the corresponding machine program is a vital factor that cannot be separated from the algorithm itself. The problem lies in finding the best possible ways to enable computers to manage numbers, and this involves tactics and numerical considerations.
Therefore, the subject of this book is clearly a measure of computer science, as well as the mathematics related to arithmetic.
