-The primary purpose of WeBWorK is to let you know that you are getting the correct answer or to alert
-you if you are making some kind of mistake. Usually you can attempt a problem as many times as you want before
-the due date.  However, if you are having trouble figuring out your error, you should
-consult the book, or ask a fellow student, one of the TA's or
-your professor for help.  Don't spend a lot of time guessing -- it's not very efficient or effective.
-$PAR
-Give 4 or 5  significant digits for (floating point) numerical answers.
-For most problems when entering numerical answers, you can if you wish
-enter elementary expressions such as \( 2\wedge3 \) instead of 8, \( sin(3*pi/2) \)instead
-of -1, \( e\wedge (ln(2)) \) instead of 2,
-\( (2+tan(3))*(4-sin(5))\wedge6-7/8 \) instead of 27620.3413, etc.
- Here's the 
-\{ htmlLink(qq!http://webwork.math.rochester.edu/docs/docs/pglanguage/availableFunctions.html!,"list of the functions") \}
