Mantissa

For the traditional use of the word mantissa in mathematics, see common logarithm.

For a more modern use of the word mantissa, especially within the context of floating-point numbers, see significand.

The original (now archaic), non-mathematical meaning of mantissa is a minor addition or supplement, e.g. to a text.

Mantissa is also a novel by John Fowles.
