<font face="serif">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.<br>
<br>
SetPrecision[Fibonacci[1450], 8]<br>
<br>
another example...<br>
<br>
SetPrecision[Pi, 3]<br>
<br>
Give it a shot -- as it could be useful...<br>
