It means 2*10^-3 => which is 2/1000 => 0.002.

ANJ 2e-3 means 0.002 because this is base 10 exponential function . This command is taken by interpreter as 2*(10^-3)

e, in this question is mathematically defined as the base-10 exponential function, given as: f ( x ) = 10 ^x Therefore 2e-3 = 2 * (10^-3); interpreted as 2 multiplied by (10 raised to the power of minus 3). However, note that there is also a function, e, known as the exponential function approximated as 2.7183. All the best.
