Does anyone know how to change the output? I'm looking for decimal values and most of the time it spits out a giant fraction. Any other Mathematica tips would be great. I spilled pop on my calculator (burst in my backpack), so I've been using Mathematica for my math and physics homework. |

The way to request decimal output is with the "N" command (N for numerical) N 349 544 0.641544 from here: 72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:VoUlz6eU9dwJ:www.physics.smu.edu/~scalise/labmech/Intro.ps+decimal+output+in+mathematica&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us |
Cool, thanks! I figured there would have been a way to simply swap it all over (like a menu option), but this works for my purposes. |
