  1. A good venture, though the prices are a little unnerving. Happily I've found not a few scholastic works at the Internet Archive texts, so have a look there too.

  2. Actually, all computer arithmetic is quurithmetic. There's always an upper and lower limit on calculations. In fact, several distinct limits: you chose which ones (yes, plural) your program will use depending on performance, memory, storage and other requirements. If you try summing beyond such a limit, the output either wraps around to 0, to the maximum negative number, or to some error condition, of which there are also several options. Besides, sometimes triggering such errors is intentional. So, yeah. :)
