------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Jan 24 21:32:52 +0000 2011 ------- I agree with mrprogrammer: it is important that the engineering notation have a stable and specifiable number of signifiant figures; 453 e6 / 100 does not equal 4 e6, nor the other way around. Expansion and truncation of the number of digits displayed is contrary to the whole notion of significant digits. Yes, the traditional scientific notation does this, but there are times it would be helpful to have both engineering notation and significant figures. As has been pointed out, my 28 year old calculator manages this format without difficulty. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
