Abstract
There was the germ of an idea in two previous papers [1, 2] which no one seems to have picked up in almost five years. For certain functions it seems desirable to transform the argument to a short range symmetric about 1.0. I will give examples of this usage for the square root and logarithm function for both binary and decimal machines.Keywords
