ScientificForm

Usage

ScientificForm[expr] prints with all real numbers in expr given in scientific notation.
ScientificForm[expr, n] prints with numbers given to n-digit precision.


Notes

ScientificForm takes the same options as NumberForm, but uses a different default function for ExponentFunction.
• You can mix ScientificForm and BaseForm.
ScientificForm acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.
• See Section 2.9.7.
• See also: EngineeringForm, NumberForm.
• New in Version 1.
