Re: Strange result with exponents...

Recently, a daughter told me about a high school math course
where she got a math problem wrong because she gave the
exact answer! She was supposed to estimate!

With the federal Education department having lost a cool
billion dollars into a "rabbit hole" (?)--Arhtur Anderson
(wasn't it them?) threw up their hands and said, We quit, it
disappeared, there's no way, and walked away. And that
department has gotten budget increases every year since
then. Ain't government great? Who needs 16-digit prescision?

| OTOH, in all my years, I can't recall needing 16 digits of
accuracy in any business application. But then, the biggest
applications have only been in a five-year stint with a
Dow-Jones 30 Industrials firm and a six-year stint with a
state government department dealing with reporting to the
federal government...
