This might be a trivial question, but how do you know which number is more accurate than the other, if those results are machine-dependent? Or is the Mathematica answer your gold standard? If that is the case I find it troubling. One of the reasons for Sage, in my mind, is to avoid Mathematica and its 'black-box' approach. Therefore to trust its answers over your own program's as the arbiter of accuracy is not a promising sign. I really am not meaning to troll, but that raised a huge red flag in my mind.
