not much?
you might want to check out some articles/papers written on
mathemetics using computers - i am sure there are some IEEE
papers where people have done what you want. time to start
searching for information :)
if you want very high level precision using a float/double may
not be sufficient :) good luck. :) but, try a double - its the
best that the device can give you right now :)
however, it is only accurate to a certain point :)
ie: (0.0002 --> may convert to 0.000199999999 internally) :P
you need to ask yourself if losing precision like this is ok,
and your dealing with the worse type of math operations.. the
'/' and '^' :)
good luck :)
