I'm having trouble getting my mind around the decimal module. From
the tutorial (<http://docs.python.org/lib/decimal-tutorial.html>) I
can see how to get 1/7 to, say, 32 places:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> getcontext().prec = 32
>>> Decimal(1) / Decimal(7)
Decimal("0.14285714285714285714285714285714")
But I can't figure out how to compute to 32 places things like the
square root of 2, or the arc tangent of .41. Could someone please show me?
Thanks,
Dick Moores
