  2. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    The binomial approximation for the square root, + + /, can be applied for the following expression, + where and are real but .. The mathematical form for the binomial approximation can be recovered by factoring out the large term and recalling that a square root is the same as a power of one half.

  3. Imaginary unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_unit

    The imaginary unit or unit imaginary number (i) is a mathematical constant that is a solution to the quadratic equation x 2 + 1 = 0. Although there is no real number with this property, i can be used to extend the real numbers to what are called complex numbers, using addition and multiplication. A simple example of the use of i in a complex ...

  4. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    As there is zero X n+1 or X1 in (1 + X) n, one might extend the definition beyond the above boundaries to include () = when either k > n or k < 0. This recursive formula then allows the construction of Pascal's triangle , surrounded by white spaces where the zeros, or the trivial coefficients, would be.

  5. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    The usual values of interest for the parameter r are those in the interval [0, 4], so that x n remains bounded on [0, 1]. The r = 4 case of the logistic map is a nonlinear transformation of both the bit-shift map and the μ = 2 case of the tent map. If r > 4, this leads to negative population sizes.

  6. Covariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance

    [1] The sign of the covariance, therefore, shows the tendency in the linear relationship between the variables. If greater values of one variable mainly correspond with greater values of the other variable, and the same holds for lesser values (that is, the variables tend to show similar behavior), the covariance is positive. [ 2 ]

  7. Grid method multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_method_multiplication

    [1] Compared to traditional long multiplication , the grid method differs in clearly breaking the multiplication and addition into two steps, and in being less dependent on place value. Whilst less efficient than the traditional method, grid multiplication is considered to be more reliable , in that children are less likely to make mistakes.

  8. Cartesian product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product

    Cartesian product of the sets {x,y,z} and {1,2,3}In mathematics, specifically set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets A and B, denoted A × B, is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) where a is in A and b is in B. [1]

    n (x) with n = −0.5 in the complex plane from −2 − 2i to 2 + 2i Plot of the Hankel function of the second kind H (2) n ( x ) with n = −0.5 in the complex plane from −22 i to 2 + 2 i Another important formulation of the two linearly independent solutions to Bessel's equation are the Hankel functions of the first and second kind ...
