How would i give the command in maple to have single precision 8 floating digits. Though addition is commutative the numbers should differ some what because of this. How would i give the summation command to find the answers??
This is for a computer project and the questions asks to compute a sum from J=1 to n of 1/j^2 from smallest to largest... i.e. (1/n^2+ 1/(n-1)^2+...1/9+1/4+1) for n=10, n=100, n=1000, n=10000, and n=100000
Is there i way i can do this in my calculator? or is there i command i can use in maple??
