I have a finite alternating series of hypergeometric (2F1) functions. These functions have complex parameters. When I sum the series I get larger and larger values. My question is this, does anyone know how precise Mathematica is when calculating a hypergeometric fn numerically ie, how many sig figs are correct? I have done various transformations on the hypergeometric fn and then summed the series. Each time I arrive at the same result. Thanks for any replies, Scott
