I am trying to change the precision that Matlab uses to do
calculations, and I'm not sure if it's even possible. I think that in
Mathematica, you can specify a precision using the function N[some
number, number of decimal places], and I am hoping that something
similar exists in Matlab.
So, if I say 1.00001 + 1.00001, and I set the precision to 2, the
result is 1.0, but if I set the precision to 6, the sum is 2.00002.
The catch is that I'm hoping to do this with big number rather than
small ones. I know that I can do rounding if the numbers are small.
What I want is to be able to do floating point calculations on numbers
that are 24 digits long.
