Actually, I have been shocked to find that I have to teach my students how to
use the exponent key and manipulate exponents with their calculators. I've
even been citing some astronomy notes on the web when students ask "how do
I enter this number" -- the mass of the Earth, etc. I think there's a real
need for some simple tutorials in dealing with +,-, /,* operations in
exponential notations with a calculator. I KNOW this wasn't the case with
my Purdue Freshman engineers, but every other class I have taught Physics
or Asty to has required a mini-tutorial.
Has anyone written one, or should I get off my rear and do it moi-meme?
