Dear all,
being a humble user of this amazing software, I cannot work out a matter that, surely, it is peanuts for you guys: calculations with significant figures.
Suppose I am performing a calculation where different values and magnitudes are plugged into a formula (with different sig. fig.). How can I instruct Mathematica to return the correct value of the calculation considering the correct number of sig. fig. ?
For example, 2 / 0.034 = 58.82352941176471.... but since one of the arguments has 1 sig. fig., the scientific result would be 60.
Mind: I do not talk about a simple calculation as the above. Consider a wider expression with many different quantities (all expressed in different sig. fig.).
How can I work this out?
Many thanks to you all. Mauro B.
