Engineering Notation and Significant Figures
Description
Numerical calculations in engineering depend on clear values, correct units, and careful rounding. Presenting the answer is an important part of engineering practice, so numerically accurate results are preferred. Handheld calculators and computers are often used because they help produce accurate answers.

工程应用在很大程度上依赖于数值计算,其结果以标准格式表示。
在数值计算中,方程必须量纲齐次,且各项必须用相同的单位表示。
无论评估何种方程,该方程的量纲齐次性均得以保持。
数字根据结果的精确度要求保留至所需的有效数字位数,并以10的倍数表示3. 若数值小于1,则将其四舍五入至所需的有效数字位数,并以10的倍数形式表示-3.
根据该规则,当一个数的末位数字大于5时,需进位;当末位数字小于5时,该数在有效数字范围内保持不变。
当数字以5结尾时,仅当其前一位数字为奇数时才进位;若前一位数字为偶数,则保留至有效数字位数不变。
