Linke pls.
My calculator doesn't have the '2' button. Stupid Windows Calculator. :mad:
I outsource all my calculator work.
It's a rounding error caused by the sqrt of 2. This comes up a lot when you want to find the zeros of functions on graphing calculators. My old math teahcer said this all the time: "Look at it, it's 1.blah to the -37. That's really close to zero so for our purposes, it is zero."
As much as I'd like to say MS sucks and can't program calculators, it's not their fault. :p

My calculator has a Snake Game! :eek2:
You first child will be a snake game!
Computers always represent floating point numbers as approximations.
