Precise: A Multiple Precision Version of Omnitab delivers a complete tool for high-accuracy computing on IBM systems. It shows how to carry out arithmetic and function generation with up to 28 significant digits.

The book describes PRECISE, a completely assembled interpretive program that works with IBM systems and a multiple-precision package. It aims to provide precise results for very large or very small numbers, using a worksheet-like workflow and flexible input and output options.

Detailed operation: arithmetic and function generation at high precision, with ranges up to 28 significant digits and robust handling of numbers beyond normal IBM ranges.
Flexible input and output: free-field input and multiple print formats, including fixed or floating point output with 9 to 28 figures.
Workspace and data handling: a sizable, run-time-dimensioned worksheet and built-in tape handling for data transfer and storage.
Compatibility and structure: mirrors OMNITAB’s approach while adding features for precise calculations and nonprogrammer accessibility.

Ideal for readers of numerical analysis and professionals who need reliable, high-precision computation tools on IBM hardware.
