Hi. Please help! for some reason my mathematical operation below is outputting an "E" and a "-" at the end. I tried to debug by omitting the
division part from the end and I got no letters or dashes. Not sure why the division bit is causing this output. Any thoughts?
This is the output for $timeDelay : 1.2256517540567E-8

Being an electrical engineer, I can tell you it is pretty common in my field. I use dielectric constants too, especially for high frequency work and antenna design. It is also used in physics and mechanical enginering a lot. In fact most calculators default to allowing xxxEyy notation for entry.
