# Math Libraries — Floating Point
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
AmigaOS provides multiple math libraries for floating-point operations. The 68000 has no FPU, so all math is done in software unless a 68881/68882/68040/68060 FPU is present.
|
||

|
||
## Library Stack
|
||
|
||
| Library | Format | Description |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `mathffp.library` | FFP (Motorola Fast Floating Point) | Original Amiga format (32-bit) |
|
||
| `mathieeesingbas.library` | IEEE 754 single (32-bit) | IEEE single precision |
|
||
| `mathieeedoubbas.library` | IEEE 754 double (64-bit) | IEEE double precision |
|
||
| `mathtrans.library` | FFP | Transcendental functions (sin, cos, sqrt) |
|
||
| `mathieeesingtrans.library` | IEEE single | IEEE single transcendentals |
|
||
| `mathieeedoubtrans.library` | IEEE double | IEEE double transcendentals |
|
||

|
||
## FFP Format
|
||
|
||
Motorola FFP is NOT IEEE 754:
|
||
```
|
||
Bits 31–8: 24-bit mantissa (normalised, implicit 1.xxx)
|
||
Bits 7–1: 7-bit exponent (excess-64)
|
||
Bit 0: sign (0=positive, 1=negative)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Using IEEE Math
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
struct Library *MathIeeeSingBasBase =
|
||
OpenLibrary("mathieeesingbas.library", 0);
|
||
|
||
float a = 3.14f;
|
||
float b = 2.0f;
|
||
float c = IEEESPMul(a, b); /* 6.28 */
|
||
float d = IEEESPAdd(a, b); /* 5.14 */
|
||
float e = IEEESPDiv(a, b); /* 1.57 */
|
||
|
||
CloseLibrary(MathIeeeSingBasBase);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 68881/68882 FPU
|
||
|
||
When an FPU is present, the math libraries are replaced with ROM patches that use native FPU instructions. The application code is identical — the library transparently switches to hardware.
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
if (SysBase->AttnFlags & AFF_68881) {
|
||
/* 68881/68882 FPU present */
|
||
}
|
||
if (SysBase->AttnFlags & AFF_FPU40) {
|
||
/* 68040 internal FPU */
|
||
}
|
||
```
