  2. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...

  3. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    The first degree polynomial equation = + is a line with slope a. A line will connect any two points, so a first degree polynomial equation is an exact fit through any two points with distinct x coordinates. If the order of the equation is increased to a second degree polynomial, the following results:

  4. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_error_probable

    While 50% is a very common definition for CEP, the circle dimension can be defined for percentages. ... is given by the following formula: (, ) = ⁡ (/ %) ...

  5. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    Consider the problem of calculating the shape of an unknown curve which starts at a given point and satisfies a given differential equation. Here, a differential equation can be thought of as a formula by which the slope of the tangent line to the curve can be computed at any point on the curve, once the position of that point has been calculated.

  6. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let ( m , n ) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point ( x 0 , y 0 ).

  7. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty...

    Experimental uncertainty analysis is a technique that analyses a derived quantity, based on the uncertainties in the experimentally measured quantities that are used in some form of mathematical relationship ("model") to calculate that derived quantity.

  8. Implicit curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_curve

    In general, every implicit curve is defined by an equation of the form (,) = for some function F of two variables. Hence an implicit curve can be considered as the set of zeros of a function of two variables. Implicit means that the equation is not expressed as a solution for either x in terms of y or vice versa.

  9. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The equation of the circle determined by three points (,), (,), (,) not on a line is obtained by a conversion of the 3-point form of a circle equation: () + () () () = () + () () (). Homogeneous form In homogeneous coordinates , each conic section with the equation of a circle has the form x 2 + y 2 − 2 a x z − 2 b y z + c z 2 = 0 ...
