  2. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Converting a number from scientific notation to decimal notation, first remove the × 10 n on the end, then shift the decimal separator n digits to the right (positive n) or left (negative n). The number 1.2304 × 10 6 would have its decimal separator shifted 6 digits to the right and become 1,230,400 , while −4.0321 × 10 −3 would have its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Val

    This template is used to easily present values in scientific notation, including uncertainty and/or units, as prescribed by Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Template parameters [Edit template data] This template prefers inline formatting of parameters. Parameter Description Type Status Number 1 A number in decimal point notation or in e notation. The main basis of the Val expression. Example -12 ...

  4. Decimal separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator

    A similar notation remains in common use as an underbar to superscript digits, especially for monetary values without a decimal separator, as in 99 95. Later, a "separatrix" (i.e., a short, roughly vertical ink stroke) between the units and tenths position became the norm among Arab mathematicians (e.g. 99 ˌ 95), while an L-shaped or vertical ...

  5. Mathematical markup language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_markup_language

    A mathematical markup language is a computer notation for representing mathematical formulae, based on mathematical notation.Specialized markup languages are necessary because computers normally deal with linear text and more limited character sets (although increasing support for Unicode is obsoleting very simple uses).

  6. Engineering notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation

    Engineering notation or engineering form (also technical notation) is a version of scientific notation in which the exponent of ten is always selected to be divisible by three to match the common metric prefixes, i.e. scientific notation that aligns with powers of a thousand, for example, 531×10 3 instead of 5.31×10 5 (but on calculator displays written without the ×10 to save space).

  7. Windows Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Calculator

    A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0. [5]In Windows 3.0, a scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial-based functions, trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic operations, statistical functions such as single variable statistics and linear regression.

  8. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/...

    Scientific notation always has a single nonzero digit to the left of the point: not 60.22 × 10 22, but 6.022 × 10 23. Engineering notation is similar, but with the exponent adjusted to a multiple of three: 602.2 × 10 21. Avoid mixing scientific and engineering notations: A 2.23 × 10 2 m 2 region covered by 234.0 × 10 6 grains of sand.

  9. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel's storage of numbers in binary format also affects its accuracy. [3] To illustrate, the lower figure tabulates the simple addition 1 + x − 1 for several values of x. All the values of x begin at the 15 th decimal, so Excel must take them into account. Before calculating the sum 1 + x, Excel first approximates x as a binary number
