I would like to understand Sage behaviour better. I just found out that Sage is different from Pari when it comes to user input of values:
sage: Ei(1.1).n(100) 2.1673782795634028985887198360 sage: Ei(11/10).n(100) 2.1673782795634028235837873423 while in Pari: ? sin(1.1) %1 = 0.89120736006143533995180257787170353832 ? sin(11/10) %2 = 0.89120736006143533995180257787170353832 What could be the reason to interpret the user input "1.1" as "real with precision of 53 bits" instead of "short way of specfying 11/10"? Programming convenience? If you say well then the user should say 11/10 if she means it, this could be said as well with RealField(1.1), so what is the reason for this convention?
