FORMATTING NUMBERS
.TXT 2 4 2 71
2,71
You can change how many decimal places MathCAD displays by FORMATTING
a result. For example, to see the value of π to 15 decimal places:
.TXT 3 1 1 76
1,76
1. Press the up arrow to move the cursor into the number 3.142 shown below
.TXT 1 0 1 73
1,73
2. Type "f" for format. You see a format spec. at the top of the screen
.TXT 1 0 1 69
1,69
3. Use the [BackSpace] key to erase the "3" in "pr=3" in this spec.
.TXT 1 0 1 34
1,34
4. Type "15" in place of the "3"
.TXT 1 0 1 36
1,36
5. Press [Enter] to see the effect
.EQN 2 18 1 13
! rd=d ct=10 im=i et=3 zt=15 pr=3 mass length time charge
π=3.142?
.TXT 3 -19 2 49
2,49
When you're done, the equation should look like
this:
.EQN 2 19 1 25
π=3.141592653589793{19007}?
.TXT 2 -19 2 52
2,52
The other symbols in the format spec. affect other
aspects of the way numbers are displayed.
.TXT 3 0 1 50
1,50
