integration calculation decreases by a factor of ten for each additional digit,
specified in the display format.
Example:
Changing the Accuracy.
For the integral of Si(2) just calculated, specify that the result be accurate to
four decimal places instead of only two.

This uncertainty indicates that the result might be correct to only four decimal
places. In reality, this result is accurate to seven decimal places when
compared with the actual value of this integral. Since the uncertainty of a
result is calculated conservatively, the calculator's approximation in most
cases is more accurate than its uncertainty indicates.
