This is a case when it's convenient to use the following notation: Accepted value: µ = 2.792847351(9) New value: µ = 2.79284734462(82)

  What's that notation called, and how does it work when digits overlap, e.g. in 0.123±0.004

    In your example one writes 0.123(4). I don't know what the notation is called, but it's discussed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty#Measurements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty#Measurements
