    The common vector notations are used when working with spatial vectors or more abstract members of vector spaces, while angle notation (or phasor notation) is a notation used in electronics. Lord Kelvin 's aetheric atom theory (1860s) led Peter Guthrie Tait , in 1885, to publish a topological table of knots with up to ten crossings known as the ...

  6. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Converting a number from scientific notation to decimal notation, first remove the × 10 n on the end, then shift the decimal separator n digits to the right (positive n) or left (negative n). The number 1.2304 × 10 6 would have its decimal separator shifted 6 digits to the right and become 1,230,400 , while −4.0321 × 10 −3 would have its ...
