A nice auxiliary would help: showEqn :: Int -> [Double] -> String showEqn i vs = ... where (add,ans) = (init vs, last vs) Then you can half the complexity. There are probably a few useful functions that aren't in the standard libraries (consperse, joinWith etc) that you could make use of. You seem to be doing take 8 on the double - what if the double prints out more information than this as the result of show? 1000000000000000000 could end up a bit smaller.
