I agree with all the replies about storage of floating point numbers. This was brought up by a student doing MATLAB and I see the same problem in octave and Sage. In MATLAB, teh only exception was at 0.3, whereas in octave and Sage there are many more exceptions.
I think matlab may automatically do the sort of abs(a-b)<eps thing that Volker was talking about, since numbers are assumed to be floating point in matlab.
