I think there is a problem with the scientific notation.I tried the equasion below3.00*10^6/4.74*10^12Answer came back 6.329114e+017The answer should have been:6.329114e-007Your version of GraphCalc is 4.0.1My name is Steve Sharp, st...@st...Windows 2000 Professional operating systemThe error is repeatableNo error message.I'm pretty rusty with my SN so if I did something wrong, let me know.Doing it the "long" way... 3.00*10^6/4.74*10^12=(3.00/4.74)*10^-6(subtracting exp 12 from exp 6)=.6329...*10^-6,or 6.329..*10^-7Maybe I'm interpreting the output of the calculator wrong. Ifso, let me know. By the way, There doesn't seem to be a problem with addition or multiplication of the Scientific NotationSteve. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
