E means "times ten raised to the power" (as, indeed, it says in the wikipedia reference below) which is not the same thing as "raised to the power of ten". > x E y is shorthand for X * 10^y. > > (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_notation#E_notation) Right. > 1E-12 and 10^-12 are the same number, specifically 1,000,000,000,000. You mean, of course, 1/1,000,000,000,000 > 10E-12 is one order of magnitude (ten times) larger. (... than 1E-12) - correct.
