2. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.

3. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   A unit fraction is a common fraction with a numerator of 1 (e.g., ⁠ 1 / 7 ⁠). Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 2 −1, which represents 1/2, and 2 −2, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two, e.g. ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 2 3 ⁠.

4. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

   Arthur Eddington argued that the fine-structure constant was a unit fraction. He initially thought it to be 1/136 and later changed his theory to 1/137. This contention has been falsified, given that current estimates of the fine structure constant are (to 6 significant digits) 1/137.036. [30]

5. Harmonic series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   Calculus. In mathematics, the harmonic series is the infinite series formed by summing all positive unit fractions: The first terms of the series sum to approximately , where is the natural logarithm and is the Euler–Mascheroni constant. Because the logarithm has arbitrarily large values, the harmonic series does not have a finite limit: it ...

   1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯. First six summands drawn as portions of a square. The geometric series on the real line. In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 8 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 16 ⁠ + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. The sum of the series is 1. In summation notation ...

7. Number Forms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_Forms

   Number Forms is a Unicode block containing Unicode compatibility characters that have specific meaning as numbers, but are constructed from other characters. They consist primarily of vulgar fractions and Roman numerals. In addition to the characters in the Number Forms block, three fractions (¼, ½, and ¾) were inherited from ISO-8859-1 ...
