+= Introduction
+
+In 2005, ID Software published the source code of _Quake III Arena_, a popular game released in 1999. \
+This caused quite a stir: ID Software was responsible for many games popular among old-school engineers (most notably _Doom_, which has a place in programmer humor even today).
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+Naturally, this community immediately began dissecting _Quake_'s source. \
+One particularly interesting function is reproduced below, with original comments: \
+
+#v(3mm)
+
+```c
+float Q_rsqrt( float number ) {
+	long i;
+	float x2, y;
+	const float threehalfs = 1.5F;
+
+	x2 = number * 0.5F;
+	y  = number;
+	i  = * ( long * ) &y;						// evil floating point bit level hacking
+	i  = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );               // [redacted]
+	y  = * ( float * ) &i;
+	y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 1st iteration
+//	y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 2nd iteration, this can be removed
+
+	return y;
+}
+```
+
+#v(3mm)
+
+This code defines a function `Q_sqrt`, which was used as a fast approximation of the inverse square root in graphics routines. (in other words, `Q_sqrt` efficiently approximates $1 div sqrt(x)$)
+
+#v(3mm)
+
+The key word here is "fast": _Quake_ ran on very limited hardware, and traditional approximation techniques (like Taylor series)#footnote[Taylor series aren't used today, and for the same reason. There are better ways.] were too computationally expensive to be viable.
+
+#v(3mm)
+
+Our goal today is to understand how `Q_sqrt` works. \
+To do that, we'll first need to understand how computers represent numbers. \
+We'll start with simple binary integers---turn the page.

+= Integers
+
+#definition()
+A _bit string_ is a string of binary digits. \
+In this handout, we'll denote bit strings with the prefix `0b`. \
+#note[This prefix is only notation---it is _not_ part of the string itself.] \
+For example, $1001$ is the number "one thousand and one," while $#text([`0b1001`])$ is the string of bits "1 0 0 1".
+
+#v(2mm)
+We will separate long bit strings with underscores for readability. \
+Underscores have no meaning: $#text([`0b1111_0000`]) = #text([`0b11110000`])$.
+
+#problem()
+What is the value of the following bit strings, if we interpret them as integers in base 2?
+- `0b0001_1010`
+- `0b0110_0001`
+
+#solution([
+  - $#text([`0b0001_1010`]) = 2 + 8 + 16 = 26$
+  - $#text([`0b0110_0001`]) = 1 + 32 + 64 = 95$
+])
+
+#v(1fr)
+
+#definition()
+We can interpret a bit string in any number of ways. \
+One such interpretation is the _unsigned integer_, or `uint` for short. \
+`uint`s allow us to represent positive (hence "unsigned") integers using 32-bit strings.
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+The value of a `uint` is simply its value as a binary number:
+- $#text([`0b00000000_00000000_00000000_00000000`]) = 0$
+- $#text([`0b00000000_00000000_00000000_00000011`]) = 3$
+- $#text([`0b00000000_00000000_00000000_00100000`]) = 32$
+- $#text([`0b00000000_00000000_00000000_10000010`]) = 130$
+
+#problem()
+What is the largest number we can represent with a 32-bit `uint`?
+
+#solution([
+  $#text([`0b11111111_11111111_11111111_11111111`]) = 2^(32)-1$
+])

+#problem()
+Find the value of each of the following 32-bit unsigned integers:
+- `0b00000000_00000000_00000101_00111001`
+- `0b00000000_00000000_00000001_00101100`
+- `0b00000000_00000000_00000100_10110000`
+#hint([The third conversion is easy---look carefully at the second.])
+
+#instructornote[
+  Consider making a list of the powers of two $>= 1024$ on the board.
+]
+
+#solution([
+  - $#text([`0b00000000_00000000_00000101_00111001`]) = 1337$
+  - $#text([`0b00000000_00000000_00000001_00101100`]) = 300$
+  - $#text([`0b00000000_00000000_00000010_01011000`]) = 1200$
+  Notice that the third int is the second shifted left twice (i.e, multiplied by 4)
+])
+
+#v(1fr)
+
+
+#definition()
+In general, fast division of `uints` is difficult#footnote([One may use repeated subtraction, but this isn't efficient.]). \
+Division by powers of two, however, is incredibly easy: \
+To divide by two, all we need to do is shift the bits of our integer right.
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+For example, consider $#text[`0b0000_0110`] = 6$. \
+If we insert a zero at the left end of this string and delete the zero at the right \
+(thus "shifting" each bit right), we get `0b0000_0011`, which is 3. \
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+Of course, we lose the remainder when we right-shift an odd number: \
+$9$ shifted right is $4$, since `0b0000_1001` shifted right is `0b0000_0100`.
+
+#problem()
+Right shifts are denoted by the `>>` symbol: \
+$#text[`00110`] #text[`>>`] n$ means "shift `0b0110` right $n$ times." \
+Find the value of the following:
+- $12 #text[`>>`] 1$
+- $27 #text[`>>`] 3$
+- $16 #text[`>>`] 8$
+#note[Naturally, you'll have to convert these integers to binary first.]
+
+#solution[
+  - $12 #text[`>>`] 1 = 6$
+  - $27 #text[`>>`] 3 = 3$
+  - $16 #text[`>>`] 8 = 0$

+_Binary decimals_#footnote([Note that "binary decimal" is a misnomer---"deci" means "ten"!]) are very similar to base-10 decimals.\
+In base 10, we interpret place value as follows:
+- $0.1 = 10^(-1)$
+- $0.03 = 3 times 10^(-2)$
+- $0.0208 = 2 times 10^(-2) + 8 times 10^(-4)$
+
+#v(5mm)
+
+We can do the same in base 2:
+- $#text([`0.1`]) = 2^(-1) = 0.5$
+- $#text([`0.011`]) = 2^(-2) + 2^(-3) = 0.375$
+- $#text([`101.01`]) = 5.125$

+= The Fast Inverse Square Root
+
+A simplified version of the _Quake_ routine we are studying is reproduced below.
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+```c
+float Q_rsqrt( float number ) {
+    long i = * ( long * ) &number;
+    i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );
+    return * ( float * ) &i;
+}
+```
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+This code defines a function `Q_rsqrt` that consumes a float `number` and approximates its inverse square root.
+If we rewrite this using notation we're familiar with, we get the following:
+$
+  #text[`Q_sqrt`] (n_f) =
+  6240089 - (n_i div 2)
+  #h(10mm)
+  approx 1 / sqrt(n_f)
+$
+
+#note[
+  `0x5f3759df` is $6240089$ in hexadecimal. \
+  Ask an instructor to explain if you don't know what this means. \
+  It is a magic number hard-coded into `Q_sqrt`.
+]
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+Our goal in this section is to understand why this works:
+- How does Quake approximate $1 / sqrt(x)$ by simply subtracting and dividing by two?
+- What's special about $6240089$?
+
+
+
+#v(1fr)
+
+#remark()
+For those that are interested, here are the details of the "code-to-math" translation:
+
+- "`long i = * (long *) &number`" is C magic that tells the compiler \
+  to set `i` to the `uint` value of the bits of `number`. \
+  #note[
+    "long" refers to a "long integer", which has 32 bits. \
+    Normal `int`s have 16 bits, `short int`s have 8.
+  ] \
+  In other words, `number` is $n_f$ and `i` is $n_i$.
+#v(2mm)
+
+
+- Notice the right-shift in the second line of the function. \
+  We translated `(i >> 1)` into $(n_i div 2)$.
+#v(2mm)
+
+- "`return * (float *) &i`" is again C magic. \
+  Much like before, it tells us to return the value of the bits of `i` as a float.
+#pagebreak()
+
+#generic("Setup:")
+We are now ready to show that $#text[`Q_sqrt`] (x)$ effectively approximates $1/sqrt(x)$. \
+For convenience, let's call the bit string of the inverse square root $r$. \
+In other words,
+$
+  r_f := 1 / (sqrt(n_f))
+$
+This is the value we want to approximate. \
+
+#problem(label: "finala")
+Find an approximation for $log_2(r_f)$ in terms of $n_i$ and $epsilon$ \
+#note[Remember, $epsilon$ is the correction constant in our approximation of $log_2(1 + x)$.]
+
+#solution[
+  $
+    log_2(r_f)
+    = log_2(1 / sqrt(n_f))
+    = (-1) / 2 log_2(n_f)
+    approx (-1) / 2 ( (n_i) / (2^23) + epsilon - 127 )
+  $
+]
+
+#v(1fr)
+
+#problem(label: "finalb")
+Let's call the "magic number" in the code above $kappa$, so that
+$
+  #text[`Q_sqrt`] (n_f) = kappa - (n_i div 2)
+$
+Use @convert and @finala to show that $#text[`Q_sqrt`] (n_f) approx r_i$ \
+#note(type: "Note")[
+  If we know $r_i$, we know $r_f$. \
+  We don't even need to convert between the two---the underlying bits are the same!
+]
+
+#solution[
+  From @convert, we know that
+  $
+    log_2(r_f) approx (r_i) / (2^23) + epsilon - 127
+  $
+
+  Combining this with the result from @finala, we get:
+  $
+    (r_i) / (2^23) + epsilon - 127
+    &approx (-1) / (2) ( (n_i) / (2^23) + epsilon - 127) \
+    (r_i) / (2^23)
+    &approx (-1) / (2) ( (n_i) / (2^23)) + 3 / 2 (127 - epsilon) \
+    r_i
+    &approx (-1) / 2 (n_i) + 2^23 3 / 2(127 - epsilon)
+    = 2^23 3 / 2 (127 - epsilon) - (n_i) / 2
+  $
+
+  #v(2mm)
+
+  This is exactly what we need! If we set $kappa$ to $(3 times 2^22) (127-epsilon)$, then
+  $
+    r_i approx kappa - (n_i div 2) = #text[`Q_sqrt`] (n_f)
+  $
+]
+
+#v(1fr)
+
+#problem(label: "finalc")
+What is the exact value of $kappa$ in terms of $epsilon$? \
+#hint[Look at @finalb. We already found it!]
+
+#solution[
+  This problem makes sure our students see that
+  $kappa = (3 times 2^22) (127 - epsilon)$. \
+  See the solution to @finalb.
+]
+
+#v(2cm)
+
+#pagebreak()
+
+#remark()
+In @finalc we saw that $kappa = (3 times 2^22) (127 - epsilon)$. \
+Looking at the code again, we see that $kappa = #text[`0x5f3759df`]$ in _Quake_:
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+```c
+float Q_rsqrt( float number ) {
+    long i = * ( long * ) &number;
+    i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );
+    return * ( float * ) &i;
+}
+```
+
+#v(2mm)
+Using a calculator and some basic algebra, we can find the $epsilon$ this code uses: \
+#note[Remember, #text[`0x5f3759df`] is $6240089$ in hexadecimal.]
+$
+  (3 times 2^22) (127 - epsilon) &= 6240089 \
+  (127 - epsilon) &= 126.955 \
+  epsilon &= 0.0450466
+$
+
+So, $0.045$ is the $epsilon$ used by Quake. \
+Online sources state that this constant was generated by trial-and-error, \
+though it is fairly close to the ideal $epsilon$.
+
+#remark()
+And now, we're done! \
+We've shown that `Q_sqrt(x)` approximates $1/sqrt(x)$ fairly well. \
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+Notably, `Q_sqrt` uses _zero_ divisions or multiplications (`>>` doesn't count). \
+This makes it _very_ fast when compared to more traditional approximation techniques (i.e, Taylor series).
+
+#v(2mm)
+
+In the case of _Quake_, this is very important. 3D graphics require thousands of inverse-square-root calculations to render a single frame#footnote[e.g, to generate normal vectors], which is not an easy task for a Playstation running at 300MHz.
+
+#instructornote[
+  Let $x$ be a bit string. If we assume $x_f$ is positive and $E$ is even, then
+  $
+    (x #text[`>>`] 1)_f = 2^((E div 2) - 127) times (1 + (F div 2) / (2^(23)))
+  $
+  Notably: a right-shift divides the exponent of $x_f$ by two, \
+  which is, of course, a square root!
+
+  #v(2mm)
+
+  This intuition is hand-wavy, though: \
+  If $E$ is odd, its lowest-order bit becomes the highest-order bit of $F$ when we shift $x$ right. \
+  Also, a right shift doesn't divide the _entire_ exponent, skipping the $-127$ offset. \
+
+  #v(2mm)
+
+  Remarkably, this intuition is still somewhat correct. \
+  The bits align _just so_, and our approximation still works.
+
+  #v(8mm)
+
+  One can think of the fast inverse root as a "digital slide rule": \
+  The integer representation of $x_f$ already contains $log_2(x_f)$, offset and scaled. \
+  By subtracting and dividing in "log space", we effectively invert and root $x_f$!
+
+  After all,
+  $
+    - 1 / 2 log_2(n_f) = 1 / sqrt(n_f)
+  $

+\section{Introduction}
+
+Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers needed to quickly compute products long before computers conquered the world.
+
+\medskip
+
+The \textit{slide rule} is an instrument that uses the logarithm to solve this problem. Before you continue, cut out and assemble your slide rule.
+
+\medskip
+
+There are four scales on your slide rule, each labeled with a letter on the left side:
+
+\def\sliderulewidth{13}
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\tscale{0}{9}{T}
+	\kscale{0}{8}{K}
+	\abscale{0}{7}{A}
+
+	\abscale{0}{5.5}{B}
+	\ciscale{0}{4.5}{CI}
+	\cdscale{0}{3.5}{C}
+
+	\cdscale{0}{2}{D}
+	\lscale{0}{1}{L}
+	\sscale{0}{0}{S}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Each scale's ``generating function'' is on the right:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item T: $\tan$
+	\item K: $x^3$
+	\item A,B: $x^2$
+	\item CI: $\frac{1}{x}$
+	\item C, D: $x$
+	\item L: $\log_{10}(x)$
+	\item S: $\sin$
+\end{itemize}
+
+Once you understand the layout of your slide rule, move on to the next page.

+\section{Multiplication}

+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+No matter what order we go in, the answer ends up off the scale. There must be another way. \\
+
+\medskip
+
+Look at the far right of your C scale. There's an arrow pointing to the $10$ tick, labeled \textit{right-hand index}. Move it over the \textit{larger} number, $7.2$:
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\cdscale{\cdscalefn(7.2) - \cdscalefn(10)}{1}{C}
+	\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+
+	\slideruleind
+		{\cdscalefn(7.2)}
+		{1}
+		{7.2}
+
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Now find the smaller number, $5.5$, on the C scale, and read the D scale under it:
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\cdscale{\cdscalefn(7.2) - \cdscalefn(10)}{1}{C}
+	\cdscale{0}{0}{D}

+		{\cdscalefn(3.96)}
+		{1}
+		{3.96}
+
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Our answer should be about $7 \times 5 = 35$, so let's move the decimal point: $5.5 \times 7.2 = 39.6$. We can do this by hand to verify our answer. \\
+
+\medskip
+
+\problem{}
+Why does this work? \par
+\hint{Add a second $D$ scale.}
+
+\begin{solution}
+	Consider the following picture, where I've put two D scales next to each other:
+
+	\begin{center}
+	\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.7]
+		\cdscale{\cdscalefn(7.2) - \cdscalefn(10)}{1}{C}
+		\cdscale{0}{0}{}
+		\cdscale{-10}{0}{}
+
+		\draw[
+			draw=black,
+		]
+			(0, 0)
+			--
+			(0, -0.3)
+			node [below] {D};
+
+		\draw[
+			draw=black,
+		]
+			(-10, 0)
+			--
+			(-10, -0.3)
+			node [below] {D};
+
+		\slideruleind
+			{-10 + \cdscalefn(7.2)}
+			{1}
+			{7.2}
+
+		\slideruleind
+			{\cdscalefn(7.2)}
+			{1}
+			{7.2}
+
+		\slideruleind
+			{\cdscalefn(3.96)}
+			{1}
+			{3.96}
+
+	\end{tikzpicture}
+	\end{center}
+
+	\medskip
+
+	The second D scale has been moved to the right by $(\log{10})$, so every value on it is $(\log{10})$ smaller than it should be.
+
+	\medskip
+
+	\medskip
+	In other words, the answer we get from reverse multiplication is the following: $\log{a} + \log{b} - \log{10}$. \\
+	This reduces to $\log{(\frac{a \times b}{10})}$, which explains the misplaced decimal point in $7.2 \times 5.5$.
