Subject: Re: Homework 1 Precision Question

If the problem doesn't specify the precision then be reasonable -- a few places past the decimal is generally enough.  However, in numerous instances in the text the problem statement tells you what precision you must use in your answer.  We will go over one of those today in class.

Hi again Dr. Pounds,

I forgot to ask, do you want us to use a particular number of decimal places when answering the homework questions? I've been doing 5(-ish), but Mathematica and the back of the book use about 7 or 8.

Thanks!

Best,
