Can someone tell me what this number represents in decimal fashion?

3.0E-3

Does it actually represent .003?


Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

Yes. Or 3 x 10^-3, so 3 x 1/10^3 = .003

So, why don't they save time and a bit of head pain for those of us not in the know and just write it .003 lol

Thanks, Denis. I knew you'd have the answer.

Grade 1 session:
teacher: Cue, what's 4 times 5?
Cue: dunno, teacher...
teacher: you don't know what 4 times 5 is?
Cue: no, I don't, teacher...
teacher: ok Cue; if your Dad gives you
5 dollars allowance and owes you for 4 weeks
Cue: stop! He'd owe me 20 bucks!!!
