Re: precision on all calcs
I just realized something. Even in degree mode, 180*sin(1) does not exactly
equal pi. It differs in the ten-thousandth place, and if it were pi, the TI-92
would give that as an answer, but it doesn't. Oh well. I'll bet changing to
degree mode solves his problem anyway.

Change your calculator from the default radian mode to degree mode.

When I make 180*sin1 on any of my calcs (80,82,92) I got something weird,
but never pi. Does anybody know if it's the case with other calcs (I only
go Ti's) ? (It also works with win calc, so I suppose somethin's wrong in
all the OS.)
