	Scientific notation Summary
		Engineering notation involves restricting the exponent b to multiples of 3.
		Scientific notation is useful for indicating the precision with which a quantity was measured.
		A physical quantity in scientific notation is assumed to have been measured to at least the quoted number of digits of precision.

	Engineering notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Engineering notation is scientific notation in which the powers of ten are limited to those where the exponent is a multiple of three, i.e, the powers are powers of 1000 (but written as e.g.
		These also provides steps of a factor 1000, except if the unit has an exponent: in that case the SI prefixes provide only steps of a factor one million, one billion, or more.
		A disadvantage both of using an SI prefix and of using engineering notation, compared with scientific notation, is that e.g.

	SI Units & Standards
		Engineering notation is similar to scientific notation except that it uses thousands exclusively, rather than tens like scientific notation.
		Engineering notation is used by default when we speak because the numerical values of the spoken names of SI prefixes run in increments of thousands such as; kilohertz, microfarads, millihenrys and megaohms (pronounced "megohms").
		The spoken term "20 kilohertz" is already in engineering notation, and would be written on paper as 20E3 (2010^3) hertz in strict engineering* notation and as 2E4 (210^4) in scientific notation* if it were not written in the more familiar form, 20 kHz.

	metric
		Purpose: Students are typically taught large numbers, metric, scientific notation, and engineering notation in different units, in different classes, in completely different years, with little or no effort made to link the ideas.
		Engineering Notation - a compromise between the first two - the exponent always corresponds to the metric prefix, that is, the exponent is always a multiple of 3.
		The proper notation for this is 2.32 Km.

	Scientific notation Did You Mean scientific_notation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Scientific notation (also known as Standard index notation) is a convenient way to write very small or large numbers.
		In this notation numbers are separated into two parts, a real number with an absolute value between 1 and 10 and an order of magnitude value written as a power of 10.
		Any physical quantity in scientific notation is assumed to be precise to no fewer than the quoted number of digits of precision.

	Chemical Sciences: Basic Mathematical Tools
		Scientists usually write numbers in a form of exponential notation called scientific notation, which means that the number is written with one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point and an integer exponent or power of ten.
		In engineering notation the number is written with one, two, or three digits to the left of the decimal point and the integer exponent is always expressed as a number divisible by three.
		Engineering notation is particularly convenient in the International System of Units (SI) because many powers of ten which are evenly divisible by three have a named prefix with an easily identifiable symbol.

	Exponents: Engineering Notation
		"Engineering" notation is very similar to scientific notation, except that the power on ten can only be a multiple of three.
		Every time a newspaper refers to some number of millions or billions or trillions, rather than writing out the whole number with all the zeroes, it is, in effect, using engineering notation.
		You should notice that, in engineering notation, it is perfectly okay to have more than one digit to the left of the decimal point -- in fact, you should expect to have something other than always only one digit.

		The advantage of scientific notation is seen whenever mathematical operations need to be performed on very small or very large numbers.
		In engineering notation, a number can have from one to three digits to the left of the decimal point, and the power of ten exponent must be a multiple of three.

	Lessons In Electric Circuits -- Volume I (DC) - Chapter 4
		With scientific notation, a number is written by representing its significant digits as a quantity between 1 and 10 (or -1 and -10, for negative numbers), and the "placeholder" zeros are accounted for by a power-of-ten multiplier.
		The advantages of scientific notation are obvious: the number isn't as unwieldy when written on paper, and the significant digits are plain to identify.
		Perhaps the easiest way to convert a figure from scientific notation to common metric prefixes is with a scientific calculator set to the "engineering" or "metric" display mode.

		For very large or very small numbers, it is sometimes simpler to use "scientific notation" (so called, because scientists often deal with very large and very small numbers).
