Huh? No calculator I know of does multiprecision arithmetic or provides
and unlimited domain.
Ok, I don't know of any unlimited domain calculators, those might be kind
of hard to build.
But, I do not own, and would not use a calculator that has the kind of
limits that normal desktop calculators have. None of my calculators has
any problem with constructs such as 1000! (that's factorial), full
precision, no approximation.
Of course, I also demand unit conversion, algebraic manipulation, and RPN.
