Entering Numbers

 * a) Numeric input:** On "numeric" questions, you input ONE NUMBER -- integer, decimal or scientific notation. Do not include commas or spaces in numeric answers.

To be scored as correct, an answer must be within 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) Significant digits and precision**

The computer carries out all calculations to at least six significant digits. Do not round off intermediate calculations or your final answer. Six digits are shown in solutions.


 * c) 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
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.,// pi = 3.14 is not the same as pi = 3.14159265358979324). In general, constants other than those given in the links below should be given in the question by the instructor.
