PCG is a family of simple fast space-efficient statistically good algorithms for random number generation. Unlike many general-purpose RNGs, they are also hard to predict.

"All mathematics is divided into three parts: cryptography (paid for by CIA, KGB and the like), hydrodynamics (supported by manufacturers of atomic submarines), and celestial mechanics (financed by military and other institutions dealing with missiles, such as NASA)."

Abstract. We show that moments of the truncated normal distribution provide upper bounds on the tails of the non-central chi-squared distribution, then develop upper bounds for the former.
Written by one of the foremost experts in high-performance computing and the inventor of Gustafson's Law, The End of Error: Unum Computing explains a new approach to computer arithmetic: the universal number (unum). The unum encompasses all IEEE floating-point formats as well as fixed-point and exact integer arithmetic. This new number type obtains more accurate answers than floating-point arithmetic yet uses fewer bits in many cases, saving memory, bandwidth, energy, and power.

The algorithm provides a high-quality approximation, but it’s not accurate enough for serious scientific use. It’s designed primarily for photo manipulation – so don’t try and use it for astronomy or medical imaging.

Code Quarterly is a new publication that intends to publish in-depth articles of interest to hackers. Readers will be able to read them on the web or buy DRM-free PDFs, Kindle and iPad versions, and print-on-demand paper copies. Subscribers to our print journal will receive a beautifully typeset quarterly containing all the articles from the past three months. Unfortunately, it did not work out: http://gigamonkeys.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/end-of-the-line-for-code-quarterly/
On-line version of the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, which is an updated version of the legendary Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Milton Abramowitz and Irene Stegun.
