Use of scientific notation in mastering physics -
- Use scientific notation, not e (which Mastering evaluates as the constant 2.718...) or E.
- For example, enter 1.23*10^5 instead of 1.23e+5 or 1.23E+5.
- Use commas only as separators between multiple expressions within a single answer box, such as "1999,2009". Do NOT use commas in any large number, such as 32000.
How do you do scientific notation on mastering physics?
- E notation is not supported by mastering.
- Use the accompanying Equation Editor menus or keyboard shortcuts to input a large or small number in scientific notation in your response to a Mastering question.
- The asterisk (*) keyboard shortcut is used for multiplication (shift-8 on most keyboard layouts).
Why is scientific notation important in physics?
- The main benefit of scientific notation is that it enables us to scale down extremely large or extremely small numbers into sizes that are much easier to handle.
- These numbers are significantly simpler to work with when they are written in scientific notation.
