  2. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    Powder wettability measurement with the Washburn method. In its most general form the Lucas Washburn equation describes the penetration length ( L {\displaystyle L} ) of a liquid into a capillary pore or tube with time t {\displaystyle t} as L = ( D t ) 1 2 {\displaystyle L=(Dt)^{\frac {1}{2}}} , where D {\displaystyle D} is a simplified ...

  3. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    Trachtenberg called this the 2 Finger Method. The calculations for finding the fourth digit from the example above are illustrated at right. The arrow from the nine will always point to the digit of the multiplicand directly above the digit of the answer you wish to find, with the other arrows each pointing one digit to the right.

  4. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    This method was used from the 1980s to the 1990s in BASIC programmable calculators and pocket computers. Texas Instruments would later implement the method in many of its graphing calculators, including the TI-83 and TI-84 Plus series. Most computer algebra systems (CASes) also use this as the default input method.

    Atari Calculator (or Calculator) is a proprietary software program developed by Atari, Inc. for Atari 8-bit computers and publoished in 1979. It incorporates the functionality of a scientific calculator into a software calculator. It was written in assembly language by American programmer and game designer Carol Shaw.

  7. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    A related problem is posed by Fermat's principle: light follows the path of shortest optical length connecting two points, which depends upon the material of the medium. One corresponding concept in mechanics is the principle of least/stationary action. Many important problems involve functions of several variables.

  8. Approximation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximation_theory

    For example, one can tell from looking at the graph that the point at −0.1 should have been at about −0.28. The way to do this in the algorithm is to use a single round of Newton's method . Since one knows the first and second derivatives of P ( x ) − f ( x ) , one can calculate approximately how far a test point has to be moved so that ...

  9. Function of several real variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_of_several_real...

    The implicit function theorem of more than two real variables deals with the continuity and differentiability of the function, as follows. [4] Let ϕ(x 1, x 2, …, x n) be a continuous function with continuous first order partial derivatives, and let ϕ evaluated at a point (a, b) = (a 1, a 2, …, a n, b) be zero:
