Best Answer

A notation is a system of written symbols used to represent numbers, amounts, or elements in something such as music or math. So scientific notation is the system used by scientists to simplify large numbers. And there isn't just scientific notation there's also stuff like electrical notation or musical notation. Hope this helps!
