Yes, for sure. Another option is to do sage: sin(10.0) -0.544021110889370 sage: sin(10.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) -0.54402111088936981340474766185137728168364301 - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
