Scientific notation (also referred to as scientific form, standard form or standard index form) is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It is commonly used by scientists, mathematicians and engineers, in part because it can simplify certain arithmetic operations.
Scientific notation is simply a number between 1 and 9 multiplied by a power of ten. If your height needs three digits, then you would write 1.32 (not 13.2 or .132 or 132), times the power of ten for the actual size of the number. For example, 132 meters is 1.32*10^2 meters in scientific notation.
