By default, Mathematica displays 6 digits. Generally, you won't want to see all of the digits Mathematica uses. But when you do the simplest method to see all digits would be to use FullForm, i.e., In[2]:= slope[50]//FullForm Out[2]//FullForm= 163.189230604459` or InputForm In[3]:=slope[50]//InputForm Out[3]//InputForm= 163.189230604459 -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
