Comment(by drkirkby):
I'm not a mathematician, but do have access to Mathematica. Can anyone
tell me what this means, so I can compute this value in Mathematica? If I
increase the precision, I should be able to get an accurate result.
I have a comment regarding the remark by John Cremona about a different
numerical value, and whether this could be due to his use of a 32-bit
computer. This looks all like floating point maths to me, so the result
would depend only on the IEEE floating point standard, which should give
identical results on any Intel or AMD CPU,. as they both use 64-bits for
the result, but work at 80 bits internally. This makes me even more
concerned, and believe this needs addressing.
