  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  3. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    The savings in processing time can be significant, because retrieving a value from memory is often faster than carrying out an "expensive" computation or input/output operation. [1] The tables may be precalculated and stored in static program storage, calculated (or "pre-fetched" ) as part of a program's initialization phase ( memoization ), or ...

  4. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    The order of operations, that is, the order in which the operations in an expression are usually performed, results from a convention adopted throughout mathematics, science, technology and many computer programming languages.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula

    If nothing is specified, the equation is rendered in the same display style as "block", but without using a new paragraph. If the equation does appear on a line by itself, it is not automatically indented. The sum = converges to 2. The next line-width is disturbed by large operators. Or: The sum

    A typeset mathematical expression. A formula editor is a computer program that is used to typeset mathematical formulas and mathematical expressions.. Formula editors typically serve two purposes:

  7. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  8. Residual (numerical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_(numerical_analysis)

    When one does not know the exact solution, one may look for the approximation with small residual. Residuals appear in many areas in mathematics, including iterative solvers such as the generalized minimal residual method, which seeks solutions to equations by systematically minimizing the residual.

  9. Mean absolute error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_absolute_error

    Quantity disagreement is the absolute value of the mean error: [4] | = |. Allocation disagreement is MAE minus quantity disagreement. It is also possible to identify the types of difference by looking at an ( x , y ) {\displaystyle (x,y)} plot.
