Aproximate calculation in decimals Six figures means six figures and not decimal places.So 0. is also counted.Also I don't know what is absolute/relative error |

Aproximate calculation in decimals How did you come up that the error would be less that 5*10^0?Also what is the difference between absolute and relative error? |

Aproximate calculation in decimals But if the actual number was e.g. 3271 and the approximate number was 3270 I would be off by 1/3271=0.0003 I.e. +/- 3 in tenth thousand.So why doesn't this approach work in fractional decimals? |

Trivial question on an algebraic equation Thanks a lot? But how did you derive that? In my program I did this as an "optimization" trick (could do it in another way) but when I couldn't remember how to figure the solution, I was really annoyed by myself |

Self-study on probability. I will check out these books thank you.One question though:from my experience (correct me here) topics that have other subjects as prerequisites are presented in the books as "refreshers chapters" and you don't really learn the material from there.You have to actually get another book since most of the intuitive explanation is assumed to be known or left out as "out of scope" for this book.I was wondering is this the same with Chung's book on counting and Sets? |

Self-study on probability. @Emmad Kareem:I will checkout the book mentioned by William Demeo of course.It is just that from my experience (correct me here) topics that have other subjects as prerequisites are presented in the books as "refreshers" and you don't really learn the material from there. |

Self-study on probability. @EmmadKareem:Why these topics?Are they prerequisite?In what way?Would it be possible to elaborate on this in an answer perhaps? |
