Mathematica experts:
I can't get ScientificForm[] to always show 4 digits to the right of
the decimal point.
Example:
n = 0.087540;
m = 0.087549;
ScientificForm[Column[{n, m}], 5, NumberFormat -> (Row[{#1, "E", #3}]
&)]
This prints like this:
8.754E-2
8.7549E-2
Which is correct, but I want it to display as
8.7540E-2
8.7549E-2
So that all numbers in the table has the same number of digits. so
'nicer' to look at.
The problem in this example, n has a zero at the last position, and so
is not shown (correctly), but I want 4 digits there.
I looked at all the options for ScientificForm and do not see how to
do it.
thanks
