3 Arithmetic

This chapter is about arithmetic. Arithmetic traditionally includes procedures for integer addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Here we will discuss procedures for interval operations. The discussion will not be of particular operations, such as addition or multiplication. Rather, properties of common operations, such as local concavity, will drive the discussion. This will lead toward a framework for implementing generalized interval models of real functions.
