When needing precision and the lack of ambiguity during decision making, numbers can provide that precision and concreteness of meaning. Science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) require such precision and lack of ambiguity; so numbers are used in STEM disciplines whenever appropriate.

Floating point numbers are typically stored as numbers in scientific notation, but in base 2. A certain number of bits represent the mantissa, other bits represent the exponent. - This is a highly simplified explanation; there are several complications in the IEEE floating point format (or other similar formats).Floating point numbers are typically stored as numbers in scientific notation, but in base 2.
