Here is a trick I find useful when quickly estimating order-of magnitude values of various quantities \u00a0in Mathematica. The statements below force the format of all numerical output to be in the scientific notation (x 10^y).<\/p>\n
oldPost = $Post;
\nformat[x_Real] :=
\nNumberForm[x, ExponentFunction -> (If[-1 < # < 1, Null, #] &)];
\nformat[x_] := x;
\n$Post = format;<\/p>\n
When you execute these statements, the output\u00a0formatting\u00a0will persist for the rest of the mmka session. If you want to go back to the default output format in the session, execute<\/p>\n
