PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Every nonzero digit in a reported measurement is assumed to be significant.
Zeros appearing between nonzero digits are significant.
Leftmost zeros appearing in front of nonzero digits are significant. They act as placeholders. By writing the measurements in SN, you can eliminate such place holding zeros.
Zeros at the end of a number and to the right of a decimal are always significant.
Zeros at the rightmost end of a measurement that lie to the left of an understood decimal point are not significant if they serve as placeholders to show the magnitude of the number.
Two situations in which numbers have an unlimited amount of sig figs:
1. A number that is counted
2. Defined quantities such as found within a system of measurement
