what is a double first from cambridge university
British undergraduate degree classification At the University of Cambridge, Triposes were previously split into two parts: Part I and Part II. Attaining First Class Honours in both parts would culminate in graduating with a "Double First".[39] Most Triposes were later split into three parts: "Part IA," "Part IB" and "Part II", or "Part I", "Part IIA" and "Part IIB". Attaining a First Class in all three parts culminates in graduating with a "Triple First".[40][41][42][43][44][45] The frequency of this honour varies with subject, however typically fewer than 3% of students will achieve this distinction. It is possible in some of the humanities Triposes to be awarded a "Starred First".[46] The science Triposes do not award Starred Firsts.
Double-precision floating-point format Double-precision floating-point format usually refers to binary64, as specified by the IEEE 754 standard, not to the 64-bit decimal format decimal64. In older computers, different floating-point formats of 8 bytes were used, e.g., GW-BASIC's double-precision data type was the 64-bit MBF floating-point format.
