I am trying to illustrate the effects of using finite-precision arithmetic on solving certain linear systems using elementary row operations. I am able to set Digits to the desired level and use the RowOperation command for each individual row operation. I would like to be use say, ReducedRowEchelonForm or LinearSolve with the desired level of precision. Is there anyway to force Maple to use whatever number of digits when using commands like ReducedRowEchelonForm or LinearSolve? I want Maple to do, for example, rounding to 3-significant digits for each arithmetic operation. I haven't been successful thus far.
