'''Scientific notation''' is the mathematical concept of writing out [[number]]s in the form <math>a * 10^b</math> (''a'' times 10 to the power of ''b''). For example, the number 123 in scientific notation would be written as 1.23 * 10². This notation allows one to write large numbers in an efficient form and to easily compare numbers based on exponents. <ref>www.NYU.edu, ''Scientific Notation'' [http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/scinot.html]</ref>
