Abdominal Procrastinator Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I thought I would open a topic for any questions relating to general topic questions concerning notation and terminology in Math IAs.My question is what is the correct notation for minuscule numbers, e.g. 0.00000000000038127. Do you use sci notation or what? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrypton Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 In the specific example you mention I would use scientific notation, yes. It's easy to lose track of the number of 0's. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
