SMath Problem 1

[dik]

Any idea of why this error message comes up? The answer should be about 600 in^4. The last y_b1 should be y_b2.

Some sort of subtle change in the file, causing a numerical change somewhere; some sort of "butterfly effect".

The display of the actual calculation is interesting, but a bit perturbing, since the numerals shown appear with way more precision than necessary, suggesting some sort of issue with truncation, but nothing looks otherwise amiss.

TTFN (ta ta for now)
I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

As long as the unassigned variable works... and can be entered 'by hand'.
