I was taught that 0.03 = 3 one hundreths and 0.003 = 3 one thousandths. Which is correct? I've been having some serious disscusions about this.

That is correct, however back when i was in machine shop school the slang/jargon was 0.003 was three thou and 0.030 would be thirty thou.
Oddly 0.0003 would be three ten thousandths but called 3 tenths.

I was mystified at the bladesmithing use of thousanths to measure just about everything. As Matt ponted out, 0.003 is three-thousanths. 0.03 is three hundreths, or 30 thousanths.
