 the results from computation should have eleven digits after the decimal
 point for real numbers. (11 digits of precision) it seems reasonable.\\
 instead of:
 {{{
 Prelude> (16.0/0.00002)**2.1
 2.491661103847512e12
 }}}
 this is better:\\

 {{{
 2.49166110385e12
 }}}
 it should be noted that a lot of computing system uses this precision.
