  2. Leap year problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year_problem

    The leap year problem (also known as the leap year bug or the leap day bug) is a problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage situations which results from errors in the calculation of which years are leap years, or from manipulating dates without regard to the difference between leap years and common years.

  3. Year 1900 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_1900_problem

    Microsoft Excel (using the default 1900 Date System) cannot display dates before the year 1900, although this is not due to a two-digit integer being used to represent the year: Excel uses a floating-point number to store dates and times. The number 1.0 represents the first second of January 1, 1900, in the 1900 Date System (or January 2, 1904 ...

  4. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    The above is not limited to subtractions, try = 1 + 1.405*2^(-48) in one cell, Excel rounds the display to 1,00000000000000000000, and = 0.9 + 225179982494413×2^(-51) in another, same display [d] above, different rounding for value and display, violates one of the elementary requirements in Goldberg (1991) [8] who states:

  5. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

    Excel offers many user interface tweaks over the earliest electronic spreadsheets; however, the essence remains the same as in the original spreadsheet software, VisiCalc: the program displays cells organized in rows and columns, and each cell may contain data or a formula, with relative or absolute references to other cells.

  6. Year 2000 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem

    Normally, a year is a leap year if it is evenly divisible by four. A year divisible by 100 is not a leap year in the Gregorian calendar unless it is also divisible by 400. For example, 1600 was a leap year, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not. Some programs may have relied on the oversimplified rule that "a year divisible by four is a leap year".

  7. Doomsday rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_rule

    The table is filled in horizontally, skipping one column for each leap year. This table cycles every 28 years, except in the Gregorian calendar on years that are a multiple of 100 (such as 1800, 1900, and 2100 which are not leap years) that are not also a multiple of 400 (like 2000 which is still a leap year).

  8. Bessel's correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel's_correction

    The sum of the a 2-column and the b 2-column must be bigger than the sum within entries of the a 2-column, since all the entries within the b 2-column are positive (except when the population mean is the same as the sample mean, in which case all of the numbers in the last column will be 0). Therefore:

  9. Help talk:Displaying a formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Displaying_a_formula

    There is at least one OCR tool that can convert a handwritten formula to Latex and other formats. Mathpix allows 10 snips a month free. I don't know enough to edit the body of the Help page (I've not yet used Mathpix so don't know how good it is, and how compatible with Wikipedia, and don't know what else is out there), but I think there should be a Tools section with this sort of information.
