Note that pure application of this method may provide only a partial ordering on the strings, since different strings can represent the same number ( as with " 2 " and " 2. 0 ", or when scientific notation is used, " 2e3 " and " 2000 ").

While his system was less " scientific " than that of J. P. Lesley, it's other key features – notation, specificity, and versatility – make it deserving of the praise it has received.

In 1973, Texas Instruments ( TI ) introduced the SR-10, ( SR signifying slide rule ) an algebraic entry pocket calculator using scientific notation for $ 150.

The euphonium has an extensive range, comfortably from E2 to about D5 for intermediate players ( using scientific pitch notation ).

This position is indicated separately in the internal representation, and floating-point representation can thus be thought of as a computer realization of scientific notation.

For example, the revolution period of Jupiter's moon Io is 152853. 5047 seconds, a value that would be represented in standard-form scientific notation as 1. 528535047 seconds.

Floating-point representation is similar in concept to scientific notation.

: Certain figures in this article use scientific notation for readability.

For very large ( and very small ) numbers, traditional systems have been superseded by the use of scientific notation and the system of SI prefixes.

To differentiate two notes that have the same pitch class but fall into different octaves, the system of scientific pitch notation combines a letter name with an Arabic numeral designating a specific octave.

For a number written in scientific notation, this logarithmic rounding scale requires rounding up to the next power of ten when the multiplier is greater than the square root of ten ( about 3. 162 ).

: An example employing SI units and scientific notation for the number, might be a measurement of power written as

In the following table, the second harmonic ( the lowest normally playable open note, written as middle C ) is presented using scientific pitch notation to identify the octave.

) or scientific notation are used instead.

The kilosecond and megasecond also have some use, though for these and longer times one usually uses either scientific notation or minutes, hours, and so on.

** 1 E + 9 m < sup > 2 </ sup > in scientific notation

** 1 E + 6 m < sup > 2 </ sup > or 10 < sup > 6 </ sup > m < sup > 2 </ sup > in scientific notation

The publication in 1901 of E. B. Wilson's textbook Vector Analysis, based on Gibbs's lectures at Yale, did much to propagate the use of vectorial methods and notation in both mathematics and theoretical physics, definitively displacing the quaternions that had until then been dominant in the scientific literature.

It can be written in scientific notation as 1 × 10 < sup >− 12 </ sup > m, or as in engineering notation — both meaning.

To avoid this ambiguity, the number could be represented in scientific notation: 8. 0 × 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > m indicates that the first zero is significant ( hence a margin of 50 m ) while 8. 000 × 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > m indicates that all three zeroes are significant, giving a margin of 0. 5 m. Similarly, it is possible to use a multiple of the basic measurement unit: 8. 0 km is equivalent to 8. 0 × 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > m. In fact, it indicates a margin of 0. 05 km ( 50 m ).

The standard modern instrument has a range of three octaves, from the F below middle C ( F3 to F6 in scientific pitch notation ).

* Exponential notation, also known as scientific notation, or standard form

The major effect of these advances appears to lie in the part they have played in the industrial revolution and in the tools which scientific understanding has given us to build and manipulate a more protective environment.

I want to see institutions like Throop turn out perhaps ninety-nine of every hundred students as men who are to do given pieces of industrial work better than any one else can do them ; I want to see those men do the kind of work that is now being done on the Panama Canal and on the great irrigation projects in the interior of this country — and the one-hundredth man I want to see with the kind of cultural scientific training that will make him and his fellows the matrix out of which you can occasionally develop a man like your great astronomer, George Ellery Hale.

Other complained that the Soviet working class was given too large a role in party organisation ; scientific personnel and other white-collar employees were legally discriminated against.

Darwin did not use the term in Origin of Species until its sixth edition in 1872, ( though earlier editions did use the word " evolved ") by which time Herbert Spencer had given it scientific currency with a broad definition of progression in complexity in 1862.

Among other things, Schroeder attempts to reconcile a six day creation as described in Genesis with the scientific evidence that the world is billions of years old using the idea that the perceived flow of time for a given event in an expanding universe varies with the observer ’ s perspective of that event.

In the early 1930s, after a famous paper given by the Soviet historian Boris Hessen, was focused into looking at the ways in which scientific practices were allied with the needs and motivations of their context.

The Ig Nobel Prizes are an American parody of the Nobel Prizes and are given each year in early October for ten unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research.

Among its more famous critics are the evolutionary biologists Richard Dawkins, Ford Doolittle, and Stephen Jay Gould – notable, given the diversity of this trio's views on other scientific matters.

Opinions on these events are often torn, given his extensive scientific legacy in other areas.

Other proposed goals of philosophy include " discover the absolutely fundamental reason of everything it investigates ", " making explicit the nature and significance of ordinary and scientific beliefs ", and unifying and transcending the insights given by science and religion.

" This leaves the APA's position on brainwashing as equivalent to: more research is needed until a definitive scientific verdict can be given.

Especially the doctrine of inerrancy is variously understood according to the weight given by the interpreter to scientific investigations of the world.

Its Committee for Research and Exploration, which has given grants for scientific research for most of the Society's history, recently awarded its 10, 000th such grant.

In the hindsight given to moderns Pytheas, in relying on observation in the field, appears more scientific than Strabo, who discounted the findings of others merely because of their to him strangeness.

After a given discipline has changed from one paradigm to another, this is called, in Kuhn's terminology, a scientific revolution or a paradigm shift.

The domestic pig ( Sus scrofa domesticus ) is usually given the scientific name Sus scrofa, although some authors call it S. domesticus, reserving S. scrofa for the wild boar.

Some sources have claimed that despite their scientific contributions, neither was given the award because of their animosity toward each other ; that each sought to minimize the other's achievements and right to win the award ; that both refused ever to accept the award if the other received it first ; and that both rejected any possibility of sharing it ( although Edison did receive one of 38 possible bids in 1915, and Tesla did receive one bid out of 38 in 1937 ).

For Marx scientific and true knowledge is ' in accordance with the dialectical understanding of history ' and ideological knowledge ' an epiphenomenal expression of the relation of material forces in a given economic arrangement '.

Its proponents made full use of a surge in the publication of review journals, and it was given more popular attention than almost any other scientific work, though it failed to match the continuing sales of Vestiges.
