Note that for problems involving non-whole numbers, I try to use exact integer arithmetic or fractions as much as possible, which ensures that the solution is provably correct. As a result I strongly avoid any floating-point arithmetic at all, unless there is no other reasonable way (that I know of) to solve the problem. Also I study the numerical bounds carefully to avoid integer overflow, and use the most reasonably narrow type for speed (choosing between int, long, or BigInteger).
Most calculators and many computer programs present very large and very small results in scientific notation, typically invoked by a key labelled EXP (for exponent), EEX (for enter exponent), EE, EX, E, or 10x depending on vendor and model. Because superscripted exponents like 107 cannot always be conveniently displayed, the letter E (or e) is often used to represent "times ten raised to the power of" (which would be written as " 10n") and is followed by the value of the exponent; in other words, for any real number m and integer n, the usage of "mEn" would indicate a value of m 10n. In this usage the character e is not related to the mathematical constant e or the exponential function ex (a confusion that is unlikely if scientific notation is represented by a capital E). Although the E stands for exponent, the notation is usually referred to as (scientific) E notation rather than (scientific) exponential notation. The use of E notation facilitates data entry and readability in textual communication since it minimizes keystrokes, avoids reduced font sizes and provides a simpler and more concise display, but it is not encouraged in some publications.[2]

Another similar convention to denote base-2 exponents is using a letter P (or p, for "power"). In this notation the significand is always meant to be hexadecimal, whereas the exponent is always meant to be decimal.[39] This notation can be produced by implementations of the printf family of functions following the C99 specification and (Single Unix Specification) IEEE Std 1003.1 POSIX standard, when using the %a or %A conversion specifiers.[39][40][41] Starting with C++11, C++ I/O functions could parse and print the P notation as well. Meanwhile, the notation has been fully adopted by the language standard since C++17.[42] Apple's Swift supports it as well.[43] It is also required by the IEEE 754-2008 binary floating-point standard. Example: 1.3DEp42 represents 1.3DEh 242.
One additional key feature is our built-in knowledge base. Across thousands of domains, the Knowledgebase contains carefully curated expert knowledge directly derived from primary sources. It includes not only trillions of data elements, but also immense numbers of algorithms encapsulating the methods and models of almost every field.
According to Discover Magazine, which wrote about the effort in a story published in its January/February 2022 issue, three researchers successfully cracked one of the messages attributed to the Zodiac killer, who authorities believe killed at least five people in the San Francisco Bay Area more than 50 years ago.
Mathematica is unique in comparison to most mathematical tools and programming languages in that it will usually produce exact results unless you tell it otherwise. The following examples show the difference between exact and approximate results. 1.1 Controlling Precision and Accuracy and 1.2 Mixing Different Numerical Types show you how to make Mathematica use the appropriate form.
Here is an interesting application in which IntegerDigits is combined with the Tuples function and a bit of pattern matching to get all n digits without calling IntegerDigits[] more than once. We used Short to elide the full list. (Short places in the output to indicate n missing items.)
What are the Wolfram Mathematica NDSolve function methods? I know that in Wolfram Mathematica I can specify solving method in NDSolve function, but I can't find a full list of available methods in documentation. 2ff7e9595c
