Hi there! I'm working on my so called engineering software and would like to incorporate bash. Does bash convert engineering number? Just want to be sure first before using it. Thanks.

Hello,

Yes, definitely bash can do number crunching on scientific notations. You can make your bash script even more powerful
by incorporating the use of a famous text processing utility named awk. With that you have to define fewer number of variables than you would in your bash script. For reference here is a very good site. I am giving you a link to a discussion that talks about this very issue.
