oh, just a note on precision in Maxima with bigfloats.
If you have 2 numbers of precision N and M, and you add them together, the resulting number will be of precision K where K is the global value of the specified precision. this is fpprec [in decimal, approximately] or ?fpprec in binary. Thus the inherent precision of some number as input is maybe less important than the global setting.
