Tim:
NIntegrate[Sqrt[Tan[x]],{x,0,1}] yields 0.727298. If you want more
precision, try NIntegrate[Sqrt[Tan[x]],{x,0,1}, WorkingPrecision->30] which
yields 0.72729824934351064355.

How do I just get the approx. of this, say 5 decimal places?
Mathematica gives an exact answer which is in terms of multiple
fractions, roots, and complex numbers.
According to my TI-85, it is approx. 0.7273
