Math Coprocessor
The math coprocessor is simply a nice addition to the CPU, but not
a requirement to function. Originally, the math coprocessor was an addon
to the CPU that you would buy separately, but since the development of
the 486 processor, the math coprocessor has been built in. The math coprocessor
speeds up the computer's "number crunching" ability for floating point
and/or decimal operations.
