Buy a good book about numerics or take a course. ;) Seriously, computers and IEEE 754 floating point numbers have a lot of pit falls. If you chose the wrong algorithm you *will* get wrong results. With floats a*b*c and a*c*b can give you a different result. The decimal module is not an option if you need speed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
