This book provides a complete guide to scientific notation (known in the UK as standard form) and engineering notation. It explains how the notation works, the advantages of using it, how to convert to and from it, how to compare numbers and orders of magnitude, and even how to perform approximate arithmetic operations (without using a calculator) such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, square roots, cube roots, and logarithms on numbers in scientific notation. There are over 200 questions and answers (answers explain how to get the answer) to help you master this important math topic.
