Dear Mathgroup, The trace of the computation (^C then t) sometimes displays "long multiplication" or "long division" operation among regular ones (like Power[] or Times[]), when performing numerical integration or finding extremum. I have checked Wolfram's Mma book as well as Maeder's "Programming in Mma" but I have not found any information whether "long multiplication" indicates extended precision or overflow error or maybe something else? Any help will be appreciated. Please Cc replay to my E-address (below). --Zbigniew Dendzik dendzik at us.edu.pl
