unless you have a very clever representation that can store in terms of some operation like sin(x) or ln(x).)
I may just be hallucinating, but I think this is called "describable numbers", i.e. numbers which can described by some (finite) formula.
Not sure how useful they would be in practice, though :).
I was actually reaching toward a more symbolic representation, like what Mathematica uses. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
