  2. Slide rule scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule_scale

    A slide rule scale is a line with graduated markings inscribed along the length of a slide rule used for mathematical calculations. The earliest such device had a single logarithmic scale for performing multiplication and division, but soon an improved technique was developed which involved two such scales sliding alongside each other.

    Warriner instead began writing chapters for a new book, which was published by Harcourt Brace as Warriner's Handbook of English, aimed at grades 9 and 10. This book was followed by a volume aimed at 11th and 12th graders. By 1956, the series had grown to six books, with a seventh added in 1959, spanning grades 6 through 12. [4]

  4. Scale analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_analysis_(mathematics)

    Scale analysis rules as follows: Rule1-First step in scale analysis is to define the domain of extent in which we apply scale analysis. Any scale analysis of a flow region that is not uniquely defined is not valid. Rule2-One equation constitutes an equivalence between the scales of two dominant terms appearing in the equation. For example,

  5. Interval arithmetic - Wikipedia

    For example, 79.6 kg and 80.3 kg are indistinguishable, as the scale can only display values to the nearest kilogram. It is unlikely that when the scale reads 80 kg, the person has a weight of exactly 80.0 kg. Thus, the scale displaying 80 kg indicates a weight between 79.5 kg and 80.5 kg, or the interval [,).

  7. Level of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_measurement

    Level of measurement or scale of measure is a classification that describes the nature of information within the values assigned to variables. [1] Psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens developed the best-known classification with four levels, or scales, of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.

  8. Long and short scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

    The existence of the different scales means that care must be taken when comparing large numbers between languages or countries, or when interpreting old documents in countries where the dominant scale has changed over time. For example, British English, French, and Italian historical documents can refer to either the short or long scale ...

  9. Mathematical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_notation

    Mathematical notation is widely used in mathematics, science, and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise, unambiguous, and accurate way. For example, the physicist Albert Einstein's formula = is the quantitative representation in mathematical notation of mass–energy equivalence. [1]
