Week 5 Lab: Playing with floating points

In this we will experiment a bit with rounding and arithmetic for floating points. We will look at

• How rounding interacts with basic arithmetic
• Implement a poor mans interval arithmetic version of $\sin$

For this we will make use of the lab-5.jl Pluto notebook that you can find in the notebooks directory. Recall that you can start Pluto with

using Pkg
Pkg.activate(".")
using Pluto
Pluto.run()

See the Lab 1 and Lab 2 instructions for more details on how to start Pluto and potential issues you can encounter.
