1.1       bowersj2    2: You can format the number displayed by the computer as the
                      3: answer. For instance, if the answer is one-third, the computer will display
                      4: that it computed {}``.333333333'' as the answer. If you'd like to shorten
                      5: that, you can use the \textbf{Format} field. Format strings like {}``2E''
                      6: (without the quotes) will display three significant digits in scientific
                      7: notation. Format strings like {}``2f'' will display two digits after the
1.3       albertel    8: decimal point. Format strings like {}``2s'' will round a number to 
1.4       lira        9: 2 significant digits. For a summary of numerical format statements, see the 
1.5     ! raeburn    10: \texttt{num} tag item in the Output Tags section (\ref{Authoring_Output_Tags}).
