  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  3. Basis point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_point

    A related concept is one part per ten thousand, ⁠ 1 / 10,000 ⁠.The same unit is also (rarely) called a permyriad, literally meaning "for (every) myriad (ten thousand)". [4] [5] If used interchangeably with basis point, the permyriad is potentially confusing because an increase of one basis point to a 10 basis point value is generally understood to mean an increase to 11 basis points; not ...

  4. p-value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value

    Second, it is also used to abbreviate "expect value", which is the expected number of times that one expects to obtain a test statistic at least as extreme as the one that was actually observed if one assumes that the null hypothesis is true. [49] This expect-value is the product of the number of tests and the p-value.

  5. Probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability

    The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur. [note 1] [1] [2] This number is often expressed as a percentage (%), ranging from 0% to 100%. A simple example is the tossing of a fair (unbiased) coin.

  6. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    Analysis is further subdivided into real analysis, where variables represent real numbers, and complex analysis, where variables represent complex numbers. Analysis includes many subareas shared by other areas of mathematics which include: [14] Multivariable calculus; Functional analysis, where variables represent varying functions

  7. Transformation efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_efficiency

    To calculate the transformation efficiency, divide the number of colonies by the number of cells plated and multiply by 100. The result will be the transformation efficiency as a percentage. For example, if you plate 1x 10 7 cells and count 1000 colonies, the transformation efficiency is: (1000/1x 10 7 ) x 100 = 0.1%

  8. Bayes' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes'_theorem

    Price edited [3] Bayes's major work "An Essay Towards Solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances" (1763), which appeared in Philosophical Transactions, [4] and contains Bayes' theorem. Price wrote an introduction to the paper that provides some of the philosophical basis of Bayesian statistics and chose one of the two solutions Bayes offered.

  9. Gauss–Seidel method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Seidel_method

    At any step in a Gauss-Seidel iteration, solve the first equation for in terms of , …,; then solve the second equation for in terms of just found and the remaining , …,; and continue to . Then, repeat iterations until convergence is achieved, or break if the divergence in the solutions start to diverge beyond a predefined level.
