122     \section*{Bitfields And Portions Of Integers}
123    
124     \begin{vworkmathtermglossaryenum}
125     \item \mbox{\boldmath $a_{b}$}
126    
127     The $b$th bit of the integer $a$. Bits are numbered with the
128     least significant bit ``0'', and consecutively through
129     ``$n-1$'', where $n$ is the total number of bits.
130    
131     In general, if $p$ is an $n$-bit unsigned integer,
132    
133     \begin{equation}
134     \nonumber p = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} 2^i p_i .
135     \end{equation}

137     \item \mbox{\boldmath $a_{c:b}$}
138    
139     The integer consisting of the $b$th through the
140     $c$th bits of the integer $a$. Bits are numbered with the
141     least significant bit ``0'', and consecutively through
142     ``$n-1$'', where $n$ is the total number of bits.
143    
144     For example, if $p$ is a 24-bit unsigned integer, then
145    
146     \begin{equation}
147     \nonumber p = 2^{16}p_{23:16} + 2^{8}p_{15:8} + p_{7:0} .
148     \end{equation}
149    
150     \item \mbox{\boldmath $a_{[b]}$}
151    
152     The $b$th word of the integer $a$. Words are numbered
153     with the
154     least significant word ``0'', and consecutively through
155     ``$n-1$'', where $n$ is the total number of words.
156    
157     In general, if $p$ is an $n$-word unsigned integer
158     and $z$ is the wordsize in bits,
159    
160     \begin{equation}
161     \nonumber p = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} 2^{iz} p_i .
162     \end{equation}
163    
164     \item \mbox{\boldmath $a_{[c:b]}$}
165    
166     The integer consisting of the $b$th through the
167     $c$th word of the integer $a$. Words are numbered with the
168     least significant word ``0'', and consecutively through
169     ``$n-1$'', where $n$ is the total number of words.
170    
171     For example, if $p$ is a 24-word unsigned integer and
172     $z$ is the wordsize in bits, then
173    
174     \begin{equation}
175     \nonumber p = 2^{16z}p_{[23:16]} + 2^{8z}p_{[15:8]} + p_{[7:0]} .

187    
188     \item \mbox{\boldmath $0$}
189    
190     $\mathbf{0}$ (in bold face) is used to denote either a vector or matrix
191     populated with all zeroes. Optionally, in cases where the context is not clear
192     or where there is cause to highlight the dimension, $\mathbf{0}$ may be subscripted
193     to indicate the dimension, i.e.
194    
195     \begin{equation}
196     \nonumber
197     \mathbf{0}_3 = \left[\begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array}\right]
198     \end{equation}
199    
200     \begin{equation}
201     \nonumber
202     \mathbf{0}_{3 \times 2} = \left[\begin{array}{cc} 0&0 \\ 0&0 \\ 0&0 \end{array}\right]
203     \end{equation}
204    
205     \item \mbox{\boldmath $I$}
206    
207     $I$ is used to denote the square identity matrix (the matrix with all
208     elements 0 except elements on the diagonal which are 1).
209     Optionally, in cases where the context is not clear
210     or where there is cause to highlight the dimension, $I$ may be subscripted
211     to indicate the dimension, i.e.
212    
213     \begin{equation}
214     \nonumber
215     I = I_3 = I_{3 \times 3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1&0&0 \\ 0&1&0 \\ 0&0&1 \end{array}\right]
