Numbers

**IMPORTANT **

a) Significant digits and precision The computer carries out all calculations to at least six significant digits. Do not use « significant figures » algorithms to round off your answer. Do not round off ‘intermediate’ calculations. Six digits are shown in solutions. To be scored as correct, an answer must bewithin 1% of the computer’s answer (except for an answer of zero, which must be exact). You will be informed of any exceptions to this tolerance. b) Scientific/Engineering notation (« times 10 to the power ») Very large or very small numbers may be input with « scientific notation, » e.g., +3.56e-10, which is 3.56 times ten to the negative tenth power. However, 468 (or 468.0) is just as good as+4.68e+02 or +4.68E+02. Constants and Conversion Factors

**IMPORTANT **

Be aware that using conversion factors and/or constants not identical with those used by the algorithm in the computer may cause discrepancies (e.g., using pi = 3.14 instead of pi = 3.14159265358979324). In general, constants other than those given in the links below should be given in the question by the instructor….
