Modular Arithmetic
Learn how counting that wraps at a fixed size fixes negative elapsed times, why remainders differ by language, and what wrapping hides.

Compute products as sums of logarithms before underflow occurs, and distinguish preserving a log result from recovering a tiny ordinary value.
Distinguish subnormal values from zero and see why very small floating-point results lose relative precision or disappear through rounding.
