RE: double, quadrupole precision computations possible ?

double and quadruple precision is an artifact of programming language definitions of storage requirements for floating point precision.  This is why triple precision doesn't exist, since it's not a power of two.

Mathcad is not a programming language per se, and is essentially fixed at 15 digit precision for purely numeric calculations.  HOWEVER, it symbolic processor can provide calculations with 2000 digit precision, if desired.
