Understanding Engineering Notation

In this video, I'll be discussing engineering notation and show how it's used in engineering. And here's the link to scientific notation which will make this video a little easier to understand. • Understanding Scientif...

Thank you, now i can stop looking like I fool in my engineering classes

[@stuzman52]

Glad to help out Jerome!

[@Urbanstrangler]

Clear and concise. This is the best explanation of engineering notation on KZbin hands down.

[@stuzman52]

Thank you very much!

[@Ebvardh]

Thank you for your explanation. I’ve been studying scientific notation for a few days and you just made this topic make perfect sense without even getting deep into it.

[@stuzman52]

Glad to hear the video(s) were helpful!

[@cullenoleary1619]

Great video! I'm going into my third year of electrical engineering. I always felt lost on engineering notation because I never learned it well the first time. I mean for the most part I understood why people simplified things. It's crazy that I didn't understand such an easy concepts, especially after taking all of the high level mathematics I've done. Very clear concise video. Worked great for brushing up on these concepts.

[@stuzman52]

Thank you Cullen and glad the video helped!

[@TheLosttransmission]

Thanks very much! Fantastic video, I must have gone through several videos trying to get the concept of engineering notation and yours is by far the most understandable. 👍

[@stuzman52]

Thank you very much Dan and glad you liked the video!

Terry I’ve started watching your scientific and engineering notation videos. What a great refresher series. It’s amazing how everything you once knew was put on the back burner in my brain. Even though I once knew a lot of what you are explaining I still find it very interesting. For all my years as an aircraft mechanic it’s now time to learn the other half electronics. Thank again for sharing Artie 👍

[@stuzman52]

Hey Artie and glad that you liked the video series. Yes, we all learn this stuff, but unless we use it, it's pushed way back into the brain. Hopefully, the videos brought everything back 😊 Since you were an aircraft mechanic, I'm sure that you had to deal with the electronics on the aircraft. You should post some videos and I'm sure that you'll get quite a few followers. 👍

[@YouLotto]

The way you broke this down made it so much easier to understand. Thank you!

[@stuzman52]

Thank you Rocky for the comment and glad that you liked the video!

[@peytonkidd5485]

Great video, helped me understand engineering notation in my classes. Not even my teacher explained it this well! Would recommend to others.

[@stuzman52]

Thank you Peyton and glad that you found the video helpful! Be sure to spread the word to your fellow students!

[@soljaa8]

Hey Terry, thanks for this video. This is by far the best explanation I have seen on this topic. I have struggled to wrap my head around this concept for a while now. I hope you are doing well!

[@stuzman52]

Glad to hear JL that the video was helpful and have a great day!

[@XG1872]

Thanks! It came up in my year 9 textbook and needed help understanding it.

[@stuzman52]

Thank you very much!

[@jask320]

The best explanation ever. Дякую!

[@stuzman52]

Thank you very much Jask320 and have a great day!

[@AndyMarcellus15]

Thank you, , I'm taking electronics and it helped me a lot

[@stuzman52]

Thank you Andy and good luck in your electronic classes!

Thank you! So helpful!

Glad you found the video helpful!

[@sorayapikecoldwellbankerad5479]

Wow - even I can understand this. Thanks!

[@stuzman52]

And you're so welcome!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Good stuff Terry . I'm sure its a learning curve in real applications . Is this a universal standard or do other countries vary because of different measuring as in metric vs imperial.

[@stuzman52]

In all the fields of science and engineering, engineering notation is the standard since it is based on the metric system and is used worldwide, even in the United States. In fact, all of the units used in science are based on the SI (systeme internationale), 'international standard' for folks who speak English. The standard was established in 1960 in France. So, all countries use it. I'll be covering the standard a little more when I get into the topic of electronics.

[@airratchetjockey7605]

Great video series Terry, if only I would of applied my self back in high school i could of done something better with my life.

[@stuzman52]

Thank you very much AirRatchetJockey and I always say that if you want to do something better, it's never too late :)

[@tightlines280]

Great stuff!

[@stuzman52]

Thanks for the comment and have a great day!

[@mancheetah5610]

How do I make this a function on my fx-cg50?

[@stuzman52]

I couldn't tell you Man, but I'm sure the owner's manual for your calculator will if it's able to do it.

[@EXOVCDS]

I'm still with you on this one. Secretly... I was waiting to spot a number that contained 318! LOL

[@stuzman52]

Thomas EXOVCDS Haha! If I would have thought about it, I surely would have put those numbers up! 😀

[@mfsperring]

Great video, great explanation. I'm a 'late in life' math learner so this is much appreciated. I do have one confusion. I understand that 10 to the power of zero would technically be 1 and it really wouldn't be used anyway. I'm missing the logic behind it i think. Why is 5 to the power of 0 also 1? Its not really germaine to the point I know, I'm just curious. What I dont want to be, is a pain in the ass.

[@stuzman52]

Thank you very much Mark! A number to the 0 power is basically saying that it's the product of no numbers at all. Here is a link to a video which should help you understand it better. medium.com/i-math/the-zero-power-rule-explained-449b4bd6934d

[@mfsperring]

@@stuzman52 Thanks for such a quick reply. Watched the video and i get it now. Well sort of she does mention there is some debate but those debates are way over my head. Lol. Still it was very helpful, and I ended subbing to her channel as well. Again thanks for the link.

[@stuzman52]

@@mfsperring Glad to help Mark!

[@mightygod-bw3cn]

You have no idea that helped a lot

[@stuzman52]

Glad the video helped!

Uh oh.. let me sharpen my pencil and get my casio calculator watch 🤓

[@stuzman52]

Ah, I'm sure you know all this stuff Keith :)

[@NewLevelAuto]

@@stuzman52 not at all ! I have so much to learn

I bet Ivan gets this. :)

So David, are you saying that you're learning to be an electrician? If so, congratulations!

I never was really any good at math.
