Ah, I see you've worked on financial software as well ;)
We've definitely had our fair share of "IDK what to tell you, those guys are mathing wrong".
TBF, though, most customers are pretty tolerant of explainable differences in computed values. There's a bunch of "meh, close enough" in finance. We usually only run into the problem when someone (IMO) is looking for a reason not to buy our software. "It's not a perfect match, no way we can use this" sort of thing.
- whstl 1y agoThe super-advanced math that finance folks would throw at us was daunting. At this particular job I used the plus, the star (multiplication) and once I even got to use the minus. There's a legend going around that a friend of mine has used division, but he has a PhD.
