Intro to Scientific Notation
Scientific Notation
Just as exponents are a shorthand method representing multiplication, scientific notation is a shorthand method for representing vary
large (distance from Earth to the Sun) and very small (width of an atom) numbers.
As with exponents, very specific rules apply to their proper use. Unlike exponents, the rules are
few and straightforward.
