Scientific Notation

Before class preparation

  • Bring a Calculator
  • Print scientific notation handout if you can
  • Why do we use scientific notation?
  • There are three rules on determining how many significant figures are in a number:
    • Non-zero digits are always significant.
    • Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
    • A final zero or trailing zeros in the DECIMAL PORTION ONLY are significant.
