  • In this video, as part of my skills series, I look at what scientific notation and engineering notation is, how they are different. I also use a few examples to demonstrate them

    Thank you. Just started my Electrical Theory class and needed this explained a bit further.

    I wish everyone used metric and engineering notation for everything.
    Nice explainer.

    Thank you, just got into my physics class and Electrical Principles. Very helpful and quick to understanding 😁👍🏻

    Why have scientific and engineering notation? Why not just one or the other?

    Hi , Paul , thanks for the explanation but quick question here , can we agree that SciN requires us to have only one digit to the left of the decimal point ( For example: 1. 49 ×10 to the exponent 11) while Eng N requires us to have more than one ( for example : 0.149×10 to the exponent 12 ) ?

      Correct and eng notation requires that the power is a multiple of three

    okay first off, great video, but i needed to come to the comment section for a much more pressing issue!
    are you that good at writing backwards!? or do you legitimately have a t-shirt on that is printed in the mirror image so that it appears normal when you flip the video?
    thanks for the vid and the lesson :)

    you are writing on a transparent glass/plastic. Hence the camera would record your text seeing it flipped like in a mirror. So, I thought "ok he just flipped the video on editing" but then I noticed your shirt and your shirt is not flipped. So my theory is , that your shirt is actually horizontally flipped in real life, so you can record yourself writing in this transparent board. Am I correct?

      You are correct 🤓

      @@PhysicsHigh thanks for calming my mind, I was trying to tell myself "no can't be.... or can it" . Hey this is how science moves on right? Theorising about our observations and experiment on them and draw conslusions! Furthermore, neither of us is symmetric, this means I haven't seen the real you, I have seen an "isomer" version of you!
