  2. Niklaus Wirth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niklaus_Wirth

    Niklaus Emil Wirth was born in Winterthur, Switzerland, on 15 February 1934. [5] He was the son of Hedwig (née Keller) and Walter Wirth, a high school teacher. [6] Wirth studied electronic engineering at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich (ETH Zürich) from 1954 to 1958, graduating with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. [6]

  3. Singmaster's conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singmaster's_conjecture

    Singmaster's conjecture is a conjecture in combinatorial number theory, named after the British mathematician David Singmaster who proposed it in 1971. It says that there is a finite upper bound on the multiplicities of entries in Pascal's triangle (other than the number 1, which appears infinitely many times).

  4. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.

  5. Pascal's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_rule

    In mathematics, Pascal's rule (or Pascal's formula) is a combinatorial identity about binomial coefficients.It states that for positive natural numbers n and k, + = (), where () is a binomial coefficient; one interpretation of the coefficient of the x k term in the expansion of (1 + x) n.

  6. Midpoint circle algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_circle_algorithm

    The algorithm has already been explained to a large extent, but there are further optimizations. The new presented method [4] gets along with only 5 arithmetic operations per step (for 8 pixels) and is thus best suitable for low-performate systems.

  7. Limaçon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limaçon

    Construction of the limaçon r = 2 + cos(π – θ) with polar coordinates' origin at (x, y) = (⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, 0). In geometry, a limaçon or limacon / ˈ l ɪ m ə s ɒ n /, also known as a limaçon of Pascal or Pascal's Snail, is defined as a roulette curve formed by the path of a point fixed to a circle when that circle rolls around the outside of a circle of equal radius.

    628 – Chakravala method described by Brahmagupta c. 820 – Al-Khawarizmi described algorithms for solving linear equations and quadratic equations in his Algebra; the word algorithm comes from his name

  9. Negative binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_binomial_distribution

    Different texts (and even different parts of this article) adopt slightly different definitions for the negative binomial distribution. They can be distinguished by whether the support starts at k = 0 or at k = r, whether p denotes the probability of a success or of a failure, and whether r represents success or failure, [1] so identifying the specific parametrization used is crucial in any ...
