Mantissa (/ m æ n ˈ t ɪ s ə /) may refer to: Mantissa (logarithm) , the fractional part of the common (base-10) logarithm Significand (also commonly called mantissa), the significant digits of a floating-point number or a number in scientific notation
The significand [1] (also coefficient, [1] sometimes argument, [2] or more ambiguously mantissa, [3] fraction, [4] [5] [nb 1] or characteristic [6] [3]) is the first (left) part of a number in scientific notation or related concepts in floating-point representation, consisting of its significant digits. For negative numbers, it does not include ...
Mentissa Eleonore Aziza (born 4 April 1999), known mononymously as Mentissa, is a Belgian singer and songwriter. [2] She is known for winning the first season of The Voice Kids in Flanders, and for her participation in the tenth season of The Voice : La plus belle voix.
The fractional part is known as the mantissa. [ b ] Thus, log tables need only show the fractional part. Tables of common logarithms typically listed the mantissa, to four or five decimal places or more, of each number in a range, e.g. 1000 to 9999.
This digit string is referred to as the significand, mantissa, or coefficient. [nb 1] The length of the significand determines the precision to which numbers can be represented. The radix point position is assumed always to be somewhere within the significand—often just after or just before the most significant digit, or to the right of the ...
The base-10 logarithm of a normalized number (i.e., a × 10 b with 1 ≤ a < 10 and b as an integer), is rounded such that its decimal part (called mantissa) has as many significant figures as the significant figures in the normalized number. log 10 (3.000 × 10 4) = log 10 (10 4) + log 10 (3.000) = 4.000000...
The integer n is called the exponent and the real number m is called the significand or mantissa. [1] The term "mantissa" can be ambiguous where logarithms are involved, because it is also the traditional name of the fractional part of the common logarithm. If the number is negative then a minus sign precedes m, as in ordinary decimal notation.
In August 1992 Killing Time changed their name to Mantissa due to American and Japanese bands of that name. [1] The new name was chosen from the 1982 John Fowles novel, Mantissa. [1] In October 1992 they issued their debut album, Mossy God, (produced by Mantissa and Terry Date), on Red Eye Records / Polydor Records, which reached No. 47. [3]
