Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the form a*10^b where 1 ≤ |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive). a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent.

In normalized scientific notation all numbers are written in the form a x 10^b (a times ten raised to the power of b) where a is a nonzero single-digit integer and b is an integer.
