Sig-fig is an important matter, and here is one reminder to everyone (from the early lecture).
Keep more (at least one more) sig-figs in intermediate steps than what you need at the end. This is so that rounding errors do not accumulate. If you are storing intermediate results in variables (in your calculator or on your computer), then you would not need to worry about this.
