  2. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    [contradictory] For example, the number 4 000 000 has a logarithm (in base 10) of 6.602; its order of magnitude is 6. When truncating, a number of this order of magnitude is between 10 6 and 10 7. In a similar example, with the phrase "seven-figure income", the order of magnitude is the number of figures minus one, so it is very easily ...

    Multiplication in group theory is typically notated either by a dot or by juxtaposition (the omission of an operation symbol between elements). So multiplying element a by element b could be notated as a b or ab. When referring to a group via the indication of the set and operation, the dot is used.

    [2] [10] [14] [15] For instance, the manuscript submission instructions for the Physical Review journals directly state that multiplication has precedence over division, [16] and this is also the convention observed in physics textbooks such as the Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz [c] and mathematics textbooks such as ...
