normalized scientific notation

(noun)

A number written in scientific notation $m \cdot 10^n$ such that the absolute value of $m$ remains at least 1 but less than 10.

Examples of normalized scientific notation in the following topics:

  • Scientific Notation

    • For example, let's write the number 43,500 in scientific notation.
    • In normalized scientific notation, also called exponential notation, the exponent $n$ is chosen so that the absolute value of $m$ remains at least 1 but less than 10.
    • Note that $0$ cannot be written in normalized scientific notation since it cannot be expressed as $m \cdot 10^n$ or any non-zero $m$.
    • Normalized scientific form is the typical form of expression for large numbers in many fields, except during intermediate calculations or when an unnormalized form, such as engineering notation, is desired.
    • Practice calculations with numbers in scientific notation and explain why scientific notation is useful
  • Scientific Notation

    • Scientific notation is a more convenient way of writing very small or very large numbers.
    • When writing in scientific notation, only include significant figures in the real number, "a."
    • Therefore, our number in scientific notation would be: $4.56 \times 10^5$.
    • Scientific notation enables comparisons between orders of magnitude.
    • Learn to convert numbers into and out of scientific notation.
  • Scientific Notation

    • Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that are too big or too small in a convenient and standard form.
    • Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that are too big or too small in a convenient and standard form.
    • Scientific notation is a less awkward and wordy way to write very large and very small numbers such as these.
    • Scientific notation displayed calculators can take other shortened forms that mean the same thing.
    • Convert properly between standard and scientific notation and identify appropriate situations to use it
  • Notation

    • The random variable for a chi-square distribution with k degrees of freedom is the sum of k independent, squared standard normal variables.
  • Naming Octaves

    • Many musicians use Helmholtz notation.
    • Others prefer scientific pitch notation, which simply labels the octaves with numbers, starting with C1 for the lowest C on a full-sized keyboard.
  • Graphical Representations of Functions

    • Function notation, $f(x)$ is read as "$f$ of $x$" which means "the value of the function at $x$."  
    • Since the output, or dependent variable is $y$, for function notation often times $f(x)$ is thought of as $y$.  
    • The ordered pairs normally stated in linear equations as $(x,y)$, in function notation are now written as $(x,f(x))$.
  • The Gauss Model

    • The normal (Gaussian) distribution is a commonly used distribution that can be used to display the data in many real life scenarios.
    • A random variable with a Gaussian distribution is said to be normally distributed and is called a normal deviate.
    • If $\mu = 0$ and $\sigma = 1$, the distribution is called the standard normal distribution or the unit normal distribution, and a random variable with that distribution is a standard normal deviate.
    • The normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, and is non-zero over the entire real line.
    • The normal distribution is also often denoted by $N(\mu, \sigma^2)$.
  • Modal Mixture

    • If the root is altered relative to the home key, use a flat or sharp in front of the Roman numeral to designate the alteration: flat to designate lowered (that is, a semitone below normal), sharp to designate raised (a semitone above normal).
  • External Expansions

    • If the root is altered relative to the home key, use a flat or sharp in front of the Roman numeral to designate the alteration: flat to designate lowered (that is, a semitone below normal), sharp to designate raised (a semitone above normal).
  • Optional Collaborative Classrom Activity

    • The normal distribution has two parameters (two numerical descriptive measures), the mean (µ) and the standard deviation (σ).
    • If X is a quantity to be measured that has a normal distribution with mean (µ) and the standard deviation (σ), we designate this by writing
    • As the notation indicates, the normal distribution depends only on the mean and the standard deviation.
    • This means there are an infinite number of normal probability distributions.
    • One of special interest is called the standard normal distribution.
