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 ...

   In some countries, it can indicate subtraction.: 1. Denotes the ratio of two quantities. 2. In some countries, may denote division. 3. In set-builder notation, it is used as a separator meaning "such that"; see { : }. / 1. Denotes division and is read as divided by or over. Often replaced by a horizontal bar.

   As a power of ten, the scaling factor is then indicated separately at the end of the number. For example, the orbital period of Jupiter's moon Io is 152,853.5047 seconds, a value that would be represented in standard-form scientific notation as 1.528535047 × 10 5 seconds. Floating-point representation is similar in concept to scientific notation.

6. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   The acronym's procedural application does not match experts' intuitive understanding of mathematical notation: mathematical notation indicates groupings in ways other than parentheses or brackets and a mathematical expression is a tree-like hierarchy rather than a linearly "ordered" structure; furthermore, there is no single order by which ...
