  2. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    If the number of errors within a code word exceeds the error-correcting code's capability, it fails to recover the original code word. Interleaving alleviates this problem by shuffling source symbols across several code words, thereby creating a more uniform distribution of errors. [ 21 ]

  3. 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 ...

  4. Checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

    The simplest checksum algorithm is the so-called longitudinal parity check, which breaks the data into "words" with a fixed number n of bits, and then computes the bitwise exclusive or (XOR) of all those words. The result is appended to the message as an extra word.

  5. Numerical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis

    The approximation of the square root of 2 is four sexagesimal figures, which is about six decimal figures. 1 + 24/60 + 51/60 2 + 10/60 3 = 1.41421296... [1] Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from ...

  6. Decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

    An example of a fraction that cannot be represented by a decimal expression (with a finite number of digits) is ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠, 3 not being a power of 10. More generally, a decimal with n digits after the separator (a point or comma) represents the fraction with denominator 10 n , whose numerator is the integer obtained by removing the separator.

  7. Mathematical problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_problem

    Such questions are usually more difficult to solve than regular mathematical exercises like "5 − 3", even if one knows the mathematics required to solve the problem. Known as word problems , they are used in mathematics education to teach students to connect real-world situations to the abstract language of mathematics.

  8. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 5 ⋅ 5, or 5 2 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that =; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1]

  9. 25 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25_(number)

    25 is a centered octagonal number, [1] a centered square number, [2] a centered octahedral number, [3] and an automorphic number. [4] 25 percent (%) is equal to ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠. It is the smallest decimal Friedman number as it can be expressed by its own digits: 5 2. [5] It is also a Cullen number [6] and a vertically symmetrical number. [7] 25 ...
