  2. Proof by infinite descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_infinite_descent

    In mathematics, a proof by infinite descent, also known as Fermat's method of descent, is a particular kind of proof by contradiction [1] used to show that a statement cannot possibly hold for any number, by showing that if the statement were to hold for a number, then the same would be true for a smaller number, leading to an infinite descent and ultimately a contradiction. [2]

  3. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  4. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    Repeated application of the half-angle formulas leads to nested radicals, specifically nested square roots of 2 of the form . In general, the sine and cosine of most angles of the form β / 2 n {\displaystyle \beta /2^{n}} can be expressed using nested square roots of 2 in terms of β {\displaystyle \beta } .

  5. Integer square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_square_root

    The Karatsuba square root algorithm is a combination of two functions: a public function, which returns the integer square root of the input, and a recursive private function, which does the majority of the work.

  6. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    The general form of a linear equation with one variable, can be written as: + = Following the same procedure (i.e. subtract b from both sides, and then divide by a ), the general solution is given by x = c − b a {\displaystyle x={\frac {c-b}{a}}}

  7. Talk:Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Darcy_friction_factor...

    The Colebrook Equation and the Haaland's solution are written for 1/sqrt(f) rather than for 'f' and this is IMHO the right thing to do. However the Swamee-Jain and Serghide's solutions are written for 'f' instead of 1/sqrt(f) which makes them inconsistent with the first two equations and makes them more difficult to understand.

  9. Constructible number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_number

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1 and is therefore a constructible number. In geometry and algebra, a real number is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | | can be constructed with compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.
