This a standard button on most scientific calculators, it allows you to enter exponential values easily.Say you wanted to enter 1000000 in your calculator, rather than pressing 1 with 6 zeros after it, you can simply press exp then the number of digits you want (which in this case is 6)

This is makes work in science and technical fields a lot easier where you often encounter very very large and very very small numbers that you perhaps wouldn't encounter in everyday life.

For example physical constant like the speed of light is ~299000000 meters per second or planck's constant which is 0.00000000000000000000000000000000006626 joule per second (the smallest unit of energy in a QM system). You can easily imagine that punching in 34 zeros can quickly become confusing and tedious. So for the speed of light simple press 2.99 then exp then 8 or for planck's constant press 6.626 then exp then -34.

How do you enter scientific notation into a calculator?

First of all, you have to have a scientific calculator, one that supports scientific notation. (As far as I know, all scientific calculators do.) The scientific calculator should have a special key labelled something like EXP. To input (for example) 2.3 million, you would type 2.3 EXP 6 (where EXP is short for "times 10 to the power...").

How do you differentiate exp exp exp x?

By using the chain rule. Since the derivative of exp(x) is exp(x), the derivative of exp(exp(exp(x))) is exp(exp(exp(x))) times the derivative of what is inside the parentheses, i.e., exp(exp(exp(x))) times derivate of exp(exp(x)). Continue using the chain rule once more, for this expression.


How many alchs does it take from 66-70mage?

It takes 3714 high alchs to get from 66 to 70 mage. Each high alch provides 65 exp and you need 241373 exp to get from 66 to 70 mage. I've also included a link to the calculator I used.


How do you use the exp on a scientific calculator?

That would depend on which model of calculator you have. Most calculators have a button with the following symbol on them: "^" which represents the exponent function. In most cases it can be used like this: entering "2^4" would give you two to the fourth power (16).
