Intel Application Note AP-133, "Getting Started with the Numeric Data Processor," by Bill Rash. February 1981. Intel iAPX 286 Programmer's Reference Manual, including the iAPX 286 Numeric Supplement, Intel part no. 210498-003. Has some reasonably useful example codes in section 4, including ASCII to binary and vice versa on pages 4-7 to 4-14 and trig functions on 4-18 to 4-23. The programming style in these examples is rather bizarre but they are better than nothing. Intel 80387 Programmer's Reference Manual, Intel part no. 231917-001. Various example listings on pages 7-7 to 7-17, including ASCII to binary and binary to ASCII conversions and raising a number to a power. No trig routines in this manual because the 80387 has built-in FSIN, FCOS, and FSINCOS instructions and generalized FPTAN and FPATAN instructions that make subroutines unnecessary.
