Scientific Notation

Discussion Assignment:

Initial Post:

Please answer all questions asked in your initial post using detail and complete thoughts. 

• Scientific notation is used all around us, though it is generally hidden in metric prefixes. In the grocery store we might see it as a label saying there are 6060 milligrams of sodium in a product. This means 60×10−360×10−3 or 6×10−26×10−2 grams. What is an example of scientific notation you see in everyday use and what is one you might encounter in your major? 

Peer Responses:

Please respond to two of your classmates' posts by asking questions, relating experiences and trying to spark an academic conversation.
