William Kahan
William "Velvel" Morton Kahan (born June 5, 1933) is a Canadian mathematician and computer scientist, who received the Turing Award in 1989 for "''his fundamental contributions to numerical analysis''", was named an ACM Fellow in 1994, and inducted into the National Academy of Engineering in 2005. Biography Born to a Canadian Jewish family, he attended the University of Toronto, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1954, his master's degree in 1956, and his Ph.D. in 1958, all in the field of mathematics. Kahan is now emeritus professor of mathematics and of electrical engineering and computer sciences (EECS) at the University of California, Berkeley. Kahan was the primary architect behind the IEEE 754-1985 standard for floating-point computation (and its radix-independent follow-on, IEEE 854). He has been called "The Father of Floating Point", since he was instrumental in creating the original IEEE 754 specification. Kahan continued his contributions to the IEEE 754 revisio ...

Kahan Summation Algorithm
In numerical analysis, the Kahan summation algorithm, also known as compensated summation, significantly reduces the numerical error in the total obtained by adding a sequence of finite-precision floating-point numbers, compared to the obvious approach. This is done by keeping a separate ''running compensation'' (a variable to accumulate small errors), in effect extending the precision of the sum by the precision of the compensation variable. In particular, simply summing n numbers in sequence has a worst-case error that grows proportional to n, and a root mean square error that grows as \sqrt for random inputs (the roundoff errors form a random walk).. With compensated summation, using a compensation variable with sufficiently high precision the worst-case error bound is effectively independent of n, so a large number of values can be summed with an error that only depends on the floating-point precision of the result. The algorithm is attributed to William Kahan;. Ivo Babuška ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kahanism
Kahanism () is an extremist Jewish ideology based on the views of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League and the Kach party in Israel. Kahane maintained the view that the majority of Arabs living in Israel are enemies of Jews and Israel itself, and believed that a Jewish theocratic state, where non-Jews have no voting rights, should be created. The Kach party has been banned by the Israeli government. In 2004, the U.S. State Department designated it a Foreign Terrorist Organization. In 2022, it was removed from the U.S. terror blacklist due to "insufficient evidence" of the group's ongoing activity, but it remains a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) entity. History The Kach party saw electoral success in 1984, winning 26,000 votes, equivalent to one seat. Early polls after the election predicted that the Kach party would become the third-largest party, winning as many 12 seats in the next election. But in August 1985 the Kach party was barred from p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
