Unlike previous versions, the fast-math mode applies to all math instructions. Even to default math operations
like `x / y`.

```C#
Context context = Context.Create(builder => builder.Math(MathMode.Fast));

### Forced 32-bit Math

Your kernels might rely on third-party functions that are not under your control.
These functions typically depend on the default .Net `Math` class, and thus, work on 64-bit floating-point operations.
You can force the use of 32-bit floating-point operations in all cases using the `Math(MathMode.Fast32BitOnly)` method
of `Context.Builder`.
Caution: all doubles will be considered as floats to circumvent issues with third-party code.

```c#
Context context = Context.Create(builder => builder.Math(MathMode.Fast32BitOnly));
```

Caution: All doubles will be considered as floats to circumvent issues with third-party code.
However, this also affects the address computations of array-view elements.
Avoid the use of this flag unless you know exactly what you are doing.
