Powers of 10
ES 10 -- The Earth
Supplemental Handout 1
Greg Anderson
This handout covers three major topics which you will need to understand for
ES 10: powers of 10 and logarithms, scientific notation, and dimensional
analysis. It is designed as a primer, not to give full details, but to try
to give examples so that someone who had never seen these three subjects
could basically figure out how they work. If you're already comfortable with
to know about powers of 10 and logs, etc., feel free to skip this handout.
However, if not, you should probably read this handout before going on to
Homework 2.
If you have questions on anything in this handout, please talk with me
after class or send me e-mail at
