Hi, I am a beginner to Mathematica, so I am sorry in case this is kind of trivial. I was trying to implement the PSLQ Integer Detection Algorithm in Mathematica 4.0. Was running into problems trying to implement something of the following nature: Have a bunch of matrices at an arbitrarily high precision level. Initially I wanted to convert them to say double precision (will N[x,16] do? or do I have to use SetAccuracy?) At this juncture I needed to carry out a bunch of steps at double precision. (will $MaxPrecision = 'something or the other' work here?) Next, back to a bunch of calculations at an arbitrarily high precision. Is there any easy and robust way of doing these steps. The double-precision steps are to save computation. Don't know if Mathematica would actually save time even if these are implemented.. Thanks, Balaji
