My code is actually wrong but I still have the problem I've
identified that sqrt is leading to precision errors. Sorry about the
earlier mistake.
I think you'll find that numpy's sqrt is as good as it gets for double
precision. You can
Hi again, I apologize, the mistake was entirely my own. Sqrt's do the
right thing
