Re: Motion 52: final "Expressions" text for vote
How can a standard for computing with intervals be constructed if the
result of evaluating any given numerical expression that contains
intervals is ambiguous? I do not believe it can, and therefore, I
believe such a construction is premature. As evidence of this fact, I
the recent discussion concerning the content of Motion 52 is more than
sufficient proof.
Therefore, I move that all work on a standard for computing with
intervals be suspended until such an unambiguous interval mathematical
foundation is developed and published in "The Mathematics of Computation."
