Scientists (and those studying science) frequently must deal with numbers that are very large

Scientists (and those studying science) frequently must deal with numbers that are very large or very small.

Instead of wasting time by writing many zeros before and after numbers, a method

Instead of wasting time by writing many zeros before and after numbers, a method of writing very large and very small numbers was invented. It is called scientific notation.
