RE: Question for Parisse about CAS floating point
To make things clearer, inside the CAS you have exact rationals to represent rationals, therefore there is no need to use floating point numbers to represent only a few rationals (included in the rationals that have a power of 2 as denominator), unlike for applications that do not have exact representation for rationals. Inside a CAS, floating point means approx data. And that's how they are used for in the vast majority of scientific computations.
