Everyone, I have a problem with the simple 2D plotting on mathematica 5.2 Here is a simple 2D plot f[x_] := 25500 + 230 * x; Plot[ f[x], {x, 2000, 2007}, PlotRange -> {485000, 487000} ] My problem is that the vertical axis tick label are 485250 485500 485750 486000 486250 486500 486750 487000 What I wanted is the vertical axis label in scientific format of 4.8525*10^5 4.8550*10^5 4.8575*10^5 4.8600*10^5 4.8625*10^5 4.8650*10^5 4.8675*10^5 4.8700*10^5 And I do not have a clue on how to force it to be in the scientific format. Thanks for your help in advance.
