## Problem
Floating-point answers are easy; answers with a guaranteed number of correct significant digits require real numerical analysis.
## Solution
A Python calculator that computes e raised to any exponent with the precision you specify, grounded in approximate-error and error-tolerance mathematics.
## Features
- User-specified significant-digit precision
- Error tolerance computation
## Tech Stack
Python
## Challenges
- Minimal — a clean, focused solo build
## Lessons Learned
- Computing approximate error and error tolerance in practice
