Scientific Notation

Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that cannot be conveniently displayed using the standard decimal system.

Bacterial Takeover employs a type of scientific notation that is called the E-notation. The E stands for exponent and shows how many zeroes a particular number has. This makes it easy to make various calculations.
