Ok I am just trying to display a matrix properly that has small numbers like 8.00e-5 but when i enter it in as a matrix i get .00001 instead of the correct number... any help?

 x = [8.00E-05  8.00E-04  2.00E-03  3.50E-03  4.00E-03  4.75E-03]

x =

    0.0001    0.0008    0.0020    0.0035    0.0040    0.0047
