1. An YouTube video which explains the basics of floating point numbers.
2. An interview with William Kahan (1998) and a paper by Cleve Model (1996) tell the story of how the IEEE standard was forged, and how it made computer arithmetic a lot more deterministic.
3. Did I say deterministic? Well, somethings are and others aren't.
4. And finally, David Goldberg's must read paper: "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic".
5. An interesting related SMBC comic.
