Talk:Fermi Questions

Under Fermi Question/Making Calculations Quickly, is the format of E3, +E3, -E4 commonly used? The Fermi Question Marathon users mostly use either aEb for a*10^b, or just Eb for indicate 1*10^b. Furthermore, the 0, +, - notation sometimes brings significant errors when attempted compared to multiplying and dividing with normal exponents. This section has been in the Wiki for 9 years, however, so I am unsure whether I should modify. --Raxu (talk) 21:16, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
