Hello everybody,
I am currently working on a simple (sometimes not so simple) problem
about finding the eigenvalues of a square matrix m using Eigenvalues[m].
Take m = {{2,a},{a,2}}, thus m is symmetric and I vary the number a as I
want. The problem is how accurate Mathematica can give or I should say
how accurate the machine where Mathematica is installed can give? What
if the size of m gets large with entries very small. any comments?
