Problem Statement:
Through multiple mathematical operations for a problem requiringmore than one step, it is reasonable to round to significantfigures 'in between each operation' (assuming methods are correctaccording to addition/multiplication rules). Your result will stillbe considered accurate to any engineering standard according toaccurate original significant figures in the problemstatement.

ANSWER:
True/False

If false why....
_____________________________________________________
It seems that rounding error will be an issue especially regardingexponentials. Although the reason for sig figs is to gather onlythe pertinent information. It seems sig figs would be useless ifthis statement were not true.

Intuitively I feel this is FALSE. Is this right? If so how wouldone determine what numbers to round of to if calculation was doneby hand?
