Your calculations are done with a precision that depends on your machine.
I guess that you want to know how to _print_ more decimal digits.

See how many digits you print now with
getOption("digits")

Change this with, e.g.,
options(digits=12)

Hi raymond,
If you mean the number of decimal places to display, options(digits=...)
