      Console.WriteLine(num.ToString("0.###E+0", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
      Console.WriteLine(String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0:0.###E+0}", num));
      Console.WriteLine(num.ToString("0.###E+000", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
      Console.WriteLine(String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0:0.###E+000}", num));
