Scientific Notation v1.0.0

Convert any number to scientific notation and engineering notation. Returns the coefficient, exponent, a formatted string with Unicode superscripts (e.g. '3.14 × 10²'), and engineering notation where the exponent is a multiple of 3. Useful for expressing very large or very small values compactly, common in physics, electronics (picofarads, gigahertz), and astronomy. Accepts output from sig_figs and log_calc for precision-aware formatting.
