[CSC 335] Numerical Precision in Mathematica

[Andrew J. Pounds]

If you want Mathematica to give you a result to N places of precision, 
then you can use the SetPrecision command. For example, if I wanted a 
Fibonacci number, but only wanted 8 placed of precision, I could issue 
the following command in Mathematica.

SetPrecision[Fibonacci[1450], 8]

another example...

SetPrecision[Pi, 3]

Give it a shot -- as it could be useful...
