2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   Order of operations. In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of rules that reflect conventions about which operations to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression . These rules are formalized with a ranking of the operations. The rank of an operation is called its precedence, and ...

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 ...

4. Sum of radicals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_radicals

   The sum of radicals is defined as a finite linear combination of radicals: where are natural numbers and are real numbers . Most theoretical research in computational geometry of combinatorial character assumes the computational model of infinite precision real RAM, i.e., an abstract computer in which real numbers and operations on them are ...

5. Newton's method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

   Use of Newton's method to compute square roots. Newton's method is one of many known methods of computing square roots. Given a positive number a, the problem of finding a number x such that x2 = a is equivalent to finding a root of the function f(x) = x2 − a. The Newton iteration defined by this function is given by.

6. Square-root sum problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-root_sum_problem

   The main difficulty is that, in order to solve the problem, the square-roots should be computed to a high accuracy, which may require a large number of bits. The problem is mentioned in the Open Problems Garden. [4] Blomer [5] presents a polynomial-time Monte Carlo algorithm for deciding whether a sum of square roots equals 0.

7. Integer square root - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_square_root

   See Methods of computing square roots § Binary numeral system (base 2) for an example. In programming languages. Some programming languages dedicate an explicit operation to the integer square root calculation in addition to the general case or can be extended by libraries to this end. (isqrt x): Common Lisp. math.isqrt(x): Python.

8. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

   The following tables list the computational complexity of various algorithms for common mathematical operations . Here, complexity refers to the time complexity of performing computations on a multitape Turing machine. [1] See big O notation for an explanation of the notation used. Note: Due to the variety of multiplication algorithms, below ...

9. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

   A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...
