Re: percision on all calcs
I think the person who posted originally didn't realize that 180*sin(1) did
not equal pi. When he calculated it, he got something like 150 because he was
in Radian mode, and he should've been in Degree mode. Then people pointed out
that 180*sin(1) DIDN'T equal pi, but it was very close.

I really don't understand the point. To my knowledge, all TI calcs
have Pi on them, and though they may not be exactly accurate, neither
is any function you put into replace it. If I remmber correctly the
original post was making a comment about how 180*sin(1) didn't equal
Pi. Well that's because it doesn't. I am confused.
