hihi,
These I know, not from studying math, but from studying Latin roots. :D

poly =many
iso= parrallel, equal, as in isoceles triangle with 2 equal side, isometric, isobars, etc....
100-- centi
1000-- milli

chị tammy ơi, hình như theo tuongvi biết là
10 or 10^1 = deca
100 or 10^2 = hecto
1000 or 10^3= kilo
1000000 or 10^6 = mega

còn centi = 0.1 or 10^-1
milli = 0.001 or 10^-3
micro = 0.000001 or 10^-6
