There is definitely a secondary understanding of math that comes from
working on computers. How computers do math is quite a bit different from
how you or I do it on a piece of paper. The fact that python can do
arbitrary large integer arithmetic makes it quite nice for many math
applications as yo
As Michael points out, you need to explicitly use the round function, as the
float formatting merely truncates anything after the second decimal place.
I ran across a similar problem with the int() fuction early on. Anything
after the decimal point is truncated, not rounded, leading to behavior I
