Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]
Each prisoner has to find their own number in one of 100 drawers, but may open only 50 of the drawers. The 100 prisoners problem is a mathematical problem in probability theory and combinatorics.
Graham's number is an immense number that arose as an upper bound on the answer of a problem in the mathematical field of Ramsey theory.It is much larger than many other large numbers such as Skewes's number and Moser's number, both of which are in turn much larger than a googolplex.
A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0. [5]In Windows 3.0, a scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial-based functions, trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic operations, statistical functions such as single variable statistics and linear regression.
There are several possible solutions, but all solutions require a mutex, which ensures that only one of the participants can change state at once.The barber must acquire the room status mutex before checking for customers and release it when they begin either to sleep or cut hair; a customer must acquire it before entering the shop and release it once they are sitting in a waiting room or ...
MemSQL uses lock-free skip lists as its prime indexing structure for its database technology. MuQSS, for the Linux kernel, is a CPU scheduler built on skip lists. [10] [11] Cyrus IMAP server offers a "skiplist" backend DB implementation [12] Lucene uses skip lists to search delta-encoded posting lists in logarithmic time. [citation needed]
His answer came in his law of universal gravitation, which states that the force between a mass M and another mass m is given by the formula =, where r is the distance between the masses and G is the gravitational constant. Given this force law and his equations of motion, Newton was able to show that two point masses attracting each other ...
In polymer science, excluded volume refers to the idea that one part of a long chain molecule can not occupy space that is already occupied by another part of the same molecule. [3] Excluded volume causes the ends of a polymer chain in a solution to be further apart (on average) than they would be were there no excluded volume (e.g. in case of ...
