  2. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    The digits in the base and exponent (10 3 or 10 −2) are considered exact numbers so for these digits, significant figures are irrelevant. Explicitly state the number of significant figures (the abbreviation s.f. is sometimes used): For example "20 000 to 2 s.f." or "20 000 (2 sf)".

  3. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    Biased representations are now primarily used for the exponent of floating-point numbers. The IEEE 754 floating-point standard defines the exponent field of a single-precision (32-bit) number as an 8-bit excess-127 field. The double-precision (64-bit) exponent field is an 11-bit excess-1023 field; see exponent bias.

    The subtraction operator: a binary operator to indicate the operation of subtraction, as in 5 − 3 = 2. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. [1] The function whose value for any real or complex argument is the additive inverse of that argument. For example, if x = 3, then −x = −3, but if x = −3, then −x = +3. Similarly, −(−x) = x.

    Because superscript exponents like 10 7 can be inconvenient to display or type, the letter "E" or "e" (for "exponent") is often used to represent "times ten raised to the power of", so that the notation m E n for a decimal significand m and integer exponent n means the same as m × 10 n.

    Ferguson's video has circulated widely across social media, amassing more than 30 million views on X and thousands of users' engagement, with some users linking it to the missing shipment.

  8. The video's only 7 seconds long, so you'll probably want to watch it more than once. Make sure your sound is on, because you'll want to hear what the Golden has to say. It's the cutest thing you ...

    I think the example for logarithms in the Arithmetic section is wrong: 3.000 has 4 significant figures, and if the number of digits in the mantissa should be equal to the number of significant figures, then log(3.000×10^4)= 4.4771 (4 decimals), rather than 4.48 (2 decimals).
