Hi Nandini, you will know that machine numbers are inaccurate. To circumvent this, mathematica uses so called root object to represent algebraic numbers. A root object is a zero of some specified polynomial. You may get a machine number by wrapping it in N[..]. hope this helps, Daniel Nandhini wrote: > Frnds, > Im very new to mathematica.
