This latter result is purely numerical, so that the two results in the stack,
although representing the same expression, seem different. To verify that they
are not, we subtract the two values and evaluate this difference using function
EVAL:
-
Subtract level 1 from level 2
µ
Evaluate using function EVAL
The result is zero (0.).
Note: Avoid mixing integer and real data to avoid conflicts in the
calculations. For many physical science and engineering applications,
including numerical solution of equation, statistics applications, etc., the
APPROX mode (see Appendix C) works better. For mathematical
applications, e.g., calculus, vector analysis, algebra, etc., the EXACT mode is
preferred. Become acquainted with operations in both modes and learn how
to switch from one to the other for different types of operations (see Appendix
C).
Editing arithmetic expressions
Suppose that we entered the following expression, between quotes, with the
calculator in RPN mode and the CAS set to EXACT:
