   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_letters_used_in...

   Latin and Greek letters are used in mathematics, science, engineering, and other areas where mathematical notation is used as symbols for constants, special functions, and also conventionally for variables representing certain quantities.

3. 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 ...

4. Long and short scales - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

   Scientific notation (for example 1 × 10 10), or its engineering notation variant (for example 10 × 10 9), or the computing variant E notation (for example 1e10). This is the most common practice among scientists and mathematicians. SI metric prefixes. For example, giga for 10 9 and tera for 10 12 can give gigawatt (10 9 W) and terawatt (10 12 ...

5. Decade (log scale) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_(log_scale)

   When a real number like .007 is denoted alternatively by 7.0 × 10 —3 then it is said that the number is represented in scientific notation.More generally, to write a number in the form a × 10 b, where 1 <= a < 10 and b is an integer, is to express it in scientific notation, and a is called the significand or the mantissa, and b is its exponent.

6. Tetration - Wikipedia

   Knuth's up-arrow notation (()) Allows for super-powers and super-exponential function by increasing the number of arrows; used in the article on large numbers. Text notation exp _ a ^ n(x) Based on standard notation; convenient for ASCII. J Notation x ^^: (n-1) x: Repeats the exponentiation.

7. Greek letters used in mathematics, science, and engineering

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_letters_used_in...

   Greek letters are used in mathematics, science, engineering, and other areas where mathematical notation is used as symbols for constants, special functions, and also conventionally for variables representing certain quantities. In these contexts, the capital letters and the small letters represent distinct and unrelated entities.

8. 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).
