No.

Scientific notation is a way of expressing very large or very small digits as factors of ten (a sort of numeric abbreviation). Ie: 2x10^8 (two times ten to the eighth power) is the same as 2x10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10, or 200000000, or conversely 2x10^-8 (two times ten to the negative 8th) is .000000002

A number in scientific notation does not change the way the math is performed. Addition, subtractio, multiplication and division will still give the same answers.

In direct relation to your question, 2+2 in scientific notation would be (2x10^0) x (2x10^0) and it would equal 4 (or 4x10^0)
