#4572: [with patch, needs review] maxima output has misleading precision
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: robertwb | Owner: burcin
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: sage-3.2.1
Component: calculus | Keywords:
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Internally, maxima uses floating point numbers internally unless
explicitly told to use bigfloats (which we don't, and there's only one
global precision in maxima so it will be non-trivial to try and do this
consistantly). This patch changes the parsing code to use RDF instead,
which is a better reflection of the underlying precision.
In addition, this has the benefit of removing the trailing zeros in
calculus expressions involving real numbers (as they didn't really contain
any information).
