| 31. | The previous poster not only got a mathematically sound answer, he got it to " six significant digits ".
|
| 32. | Would this reduce my allowed significant digits to 2 or would I still be allowed to use 3 significant digits?
|
| 33. | A digit lower than a threshold value marks that it is the most-significant digit, hence the end of the number.
|
| 34. | The typical arithmetic precision of a slide rule is about three significant digits, compared to many digits on digital calculators.
|
| 35. | Would this reduce my allowed significant digits to 2 or would I still be allowed to use 3 significant digits?
|
| 36. | I would, for example, be fine with automatic conversions of 3 + significant digits past what the original number offers.
|
| 37. | The law states that in many naturally occurring collections of numbers, the leading significant digit is likely to be small.
|
| 38. | If you want to work to only 2 significant digits, why not just say 1.6 ? ( The given here?
|
| 39. | Early electronic calculators could only handle 8 to 10 significant digits, whereas suanpans can be built to virtually limitless precision.
|
| 40. | Anything that can be done by means of significant digits can be done much better and more easily by other means.
