I first used scientific notation in Pascal so the specific language
really has nothing to do with it.  A way to read 1.e3 and 1.e-3 is to
take whatever's to the left of "e" and then move the decimal point
according to what follows the "e" (positive numbers to the right and
negative numbers to the left):
6.41e-4 = 0.000641
6.41e4  = 61,400
