The example I gave in my earlier post seems to show that multiplication of floating point numbers isn't commutative. In fact, the problem is with associativity, as I claimed. Here is the example I should have given: In[2]:= ((.7 67 )10)-(.7 (67 10)) Out[2]= \!\(5.68434188608080148`*^-14\) --Lou Talman
