  2. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    Power of 10. Visualisation of powers of 10 from one to 1 trillion. A power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer). By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power) of ten. The first few non-negative powers of ten ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    On scientific calculators, it is usually known as "SCI" display mode. In scientific notation, nonzero numbers are written in the form. or m times ten raised to the power of n, where n is an integer, and the coefficient m is a nonzero real number (usually between 1 and 10 in absolute value, and nearly always written as a terminating decimal).

  5. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    Working to the left, use the next a to the left, as the base b, and evaluate the new b^c. 'Descend down the tower' in turn, with the new value for c on the next downward step. Owing in part to some shared terminology and similar notational symbolism , tetration is often confused with closely related functions and expressions.

  6. Orders of magnitude (numbers) - Wikipedia

    Chimpanzee probably not typing Hamlet. Mathematics – random selections: Approximately 10 −183,800 is a rough first estimate of the probability that a typing "monkey", or an English-illiterate typing robot, when placed in front of a typewriter, will type out William Shakespeare's play Hamlet as its first set of inputs, on the precondition it typed the needed number of characters. [1]

  7. Order of integration (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_integration...

    Calculus. In calculus, interchange of the order of integration is a methodology that transforms iterated integrals (or multiple integrals through the use of Fubini's theorem) of functions into other, hopefully simpler, integrals by changing the order in which the integrations are performed.

  8. Residue theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residue_theorem

    t. e. In complex analysis, the residue theorem, sometimes called Cauchy's residue theorem, is a powerful tool to evaluate line integrals of analytic functions over closed curves; it can often be used to compute real integrals and infinite series as well. It generalizes the Cauchy integral theorem and Cauchy's integral formula.

  9. Contour integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_integration

    In the mathematical field of complex analysis, contour integration is a method of evaluating certain integrals along paths in the complex plane. [1][2][3] Contour integration is closely related to the calculus of residues, [4] a method of complex analysis. One use for contour integrals is the evaluation of integrals along the real line that are ...
