Errors in calculation

The Calculator application performs operations with fifteen-decimal digit precision in the range of ±1.7E308. (The significant digit of exponents is limited on the display according to number of digits that are allowed to be displayed, but all digits of exponent are saved in the memory.) However, the neighborhood of the singular and inflexion points of the function accumulates errors. (Continuous calculations such as a power ( ) and root ( ), which perform internal continuous calculations, also accumulate errors.)
