defining "constants" in calc

[Benjamin Slade]

I'm trying to get my head round using calc-based functions. If I want to define a constant, using higher precision than what normal Emacs Lisp allows, how can I do this using calc?

I was trying to use this:


(defmath my-calc-func
  (exp "365 + 279457:1080000"))

[Intended to mean: define a constant whose value is: (365 + (279457/1080000)).]
