I always suggest to write all these calculations in Excel and try a bit precise calculation beneath a real calculation in comparison. Yes, we "profs" do that in MATLAB, but not everybody has that available:)

You thus can also test rounding and error behaviour for your particular range of numbers easily. ("14 bit" is not 100% of the information about that)
