  2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    Calculators generally perform operations with the same precedence from left to right, [1] but some programming languages and calculators adopt different conventions. For example, multiplication is granted a higher precedence than addition, and it has been this way since the introduction of modern algebraic notation.

  3. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    The answer must be found one digit at a time starting at the least significant digit and moving left. The last calculation is on the leading zero of the multiplicand. Each digit has a neighbor, i.e., the digit on its right. The rightmost digit's neighbor is the trailing zero. The 'halve' operation has a particular meaning to the Trachtenberg ...

  4. Formula calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_calculator

    The formula is entered first, and requires operator precedence — multiplications and divisions precede additions and subtractions. A formula calculator is a software calculator that can perform a calculation in two steps: Enter the calculation by typing it in from the keyboard. Press a single button or key to see the final result.

  6. Juxtaposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juxtaposition

    Juxtaposition in literary terms is the showing contrast by concepts placed side by side. An example of juxtaposition are the quotes "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country", and "Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate", both by John F. Kennedy, who particularly liked juxtaposition as a rhetorical device. [1]

  7. Multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

    The carry step of the multiplication can be performed at the final stage of the calculation (in bold), returning the final product of 45 × 256 = 11520. This is a variant of Lattice multiplication . The modern method of multiplication based on the Hindu–Arabic numeral system was first described by Brahmagupta .

  8. Quaternion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion

    The latter is impossible because a is a real number and the first equation would imply that a 2 = −1. Therefore, a = 0 and b 2 + c 2 + d 2 = 1 . In other words: A quaternion squares to −1 if and only if it is a vector quaternion with norm 1.

  9. Reverse Polish notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

    Video: Keys pressed for calculating eight times six on a HP-32SII (employing RPN) from 1991. Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as reverse Ɓukasiewicz notation, Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to prefix or Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands.
