  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  3. Polite number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polite_number

    In number theory, a polite number is a positive integer that can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers. A positive integer which is not polite is called impolite. [1] [2] The impolite numbers are exactly the powers of two, and the polite numbers are the natural numbers that are not powers of two.

  4. Triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_number

    Triangular numbers are a type of figurate number, other examples being square numbers and cube numbers. The n th triangular number is the number of dots in the triangular arrangement with n dots on each side, and is equal to the sum of the n natural numbers from 1 to n.

  5. Nonogram - Wikipedia

    The clue 2 produces the number (2 - 2 =) 0; if there were a 1 clue, it would produce the number (1 - 2 =) -1. To fill in the blocks, assume the blocks are all pushed to one side, count from that side "through" the blocks, and backfill the appropriate number of blocks. This can be done from either direction.

    The mean number chosen when playing the "guess 2/3 of the average" game four consecutive rounds. Grosskopf and Nagel's investigation also revealed that most players do not choose 0 the first time they play this game. Instead, they realise that 0 is the Nash Equilibrium after some repetitions. [14]

  7. Sequence number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_number

    A sequence number is a consecutive number in a sequence of numbers, usually of real integers (natural numbers).Sequence numbers have many practical applications. They can be used, among other things, as part of serial numbers on manufactured parts, in case management, [1] or in databases as a surrogate key for registering and identifying unique entries in a table [2] [3] (in which case it is ...

  8. AutoNumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoNumber

    AutoNumber is a type of data used in Microsoft Access tables to generate an automatically incremented numeric counter. It may be used to create an identity column which uniquely identifies each record of a table.

  9. Integer sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sequence

    An integer sequence is computable if there exists an algorithm that, given n, calculates a n, for all n > 0. The set of computable integer sequences is countable.The set of all integer sequences is uncountable (with cardinality equal to that of the continuum), and so not all integer sequences are computable.
