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.</div>

Hi again Dr. Pounds, <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Best,</div>
