Abstract

The recent note by Morris [1] prompts me to describe the following process for doing repreated floating point additions. It seems certain that the process is not new; but I have not seen it described elsewhere. It has perhaps been ignored because of its limited practical value. However, it serves as an interesting example for the classroom.
