When you work on a quantitative problem, you often substitute numerical values into an equation and solve the equation. To solve the equation, you usually perform a sequence of calculations. We will refer to a calculation that is part of a sequence of calculations as an intermediate calculation. Rounding error is the difference between the calculated approximation of a number and its exact mathematical value. The improper handling of intermediate calculations can be a significant source of rounding error. Proper Handling of Intermediate Calculations Do not round the result of an intermediate calculation. Round only the final result of the entire sequence of calculations. If you are using a calculator, carry all the information your calculator is producing in
