  2. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

    If one has a two-digit number, take it and add the two numbers together and put that sum in the middle, and one can get the answer. For example: 24 x 11 = 264 because 2 + 4 = 6 and the 6 is placed in between the 2 and the 4. Second example: 87 x 11 = 957 because 8 + 7 = 15 so the 5 goes in between the 8 and the 7 and the 1 is carried to the 8.

  3. Decade (log scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_(log_scale)

    When a real number like .007 is denoted alternatively by 7.0 × 10 —3 then it is said that the number is represented in scientific notation.More generally, to write a number in the form a × 10 b, where 1 <= a < 10 and b is an integer, is to express it in scientific notation, and a is called the significand or the mantissa, and b is its exponent.

    The input section is moved with the end crank until the lefthand digits of the two numbers line up. The operation crank is turned and the divisor is subtracted from the accumulator repeatedly until the left hand (most significant) digit of the result is 0.if it shows any other number, that is the remainder. [citation needed]. The number showing ...

  5. Hamming distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance

    In information theory, the Hamming distance between two strings or vectors of equal length is the number of positions at which the corresponding symbols are different. In other words, it measures the minimum number of substitutions required to change one string into the other, or equivalently, the minimum number of errors that could have transformed one string into the other.

    A scientific calculator is an electronic calculator, either desktop or handheld, designed to perform calculations using basic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and advanced (trigonometric, hyperbolic, etc.) mathematical operations and functions.

  7. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)

    The addition x + a on the number line. All numbers greater than x and less than x + a fall within that open interval. In mathematics, a real interval is the set of all real numbers lying between two fixed endpoints with no "gaps". Each endpoint is either a real number or positive or negative infinity, indicating the interval extends without a ...

  9. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    The equation of time describes the discrepancy between two kinds of solar time. The two times that differ are the apparent solar time , which directly tracks the diurnal motion of the Sun , and mean solar time , which tracks a theoretical mean Sun with uniform motion along the celestial equator .
