- When it comes to estimation
- In the paper, what he wants is as follows
- He will give you very unique values, what you need to do is to round them up or round them down to make it easier to calculate without a calculator.
- For example, if I ask you 0.018952 * 20015, you can make it easier to approximate or provide a guess of the answer by simply doing the following
- Bring it to 0.02*20000
- Now, it can be calculated easily
- 400 is the answer
- No real complexity
- In the exam, just check the number of significant figures he wants the estimation to be in
- Often he will tell a different number of significant figures for the estimation process and the final answer, so be carefull
- No other rocket science in this question.
