Note that even for an engineering problem, you don't necessarily use a decimal representation. You may well want to represent pi as 3 or 4 or 22/7 or any other approximation that is good for your particular use case. Or you may even have usecases where you do things the opposite way - you may want to approximate 1 as pi/3 or something like that for certain kinds of problems (e.g if you're going to take the sin of your result). |
