The true result is 7,968419666 E+95. So the 9100 is only +4 ULP off. That's on the same level as the internally 13-digit HP67 (–5 ULP) and HP41 (–2 ULP). How does the 9100 do it? Is there more than the regular 10-digit accuracy? Could you post the intermediate results, i.e. ln 3, then 201 times this and finally the exponential result? Dieter |
