  3. Champernowne constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champernowne_constant

    The definition of the Champernowne constant immediately gives rise to an infinite series representation involving a double sum, = = = (+), where () = = is the number of digits between the decimal point and the first contribution from an n-digit base-10 number; these expressions generalize to an arbitrary base b by replacing 10 and 9 with b and b − 1 respectively.

    The Johnson foundry was influential, being America's first and oldest foundry; established as Binny & Ronaldson in 1796, it would go through several names before being the largest of the 23 foundries that would merge in 1892 to form the American Type Founders Co. [32] The official definition of one pica is 0.166044 inches (4.2175 mm), and one ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_continued_fraction

    The continued fraction representation for a real number is finite if and only if it is a rational number. In contrast, the decimal representation of a rational number may be finite, for example ⁠ 137 / 1600 ⁠ = 0.085625, or infinite with a repeating cycle, for example ⁠ 4 / 27 ⁠ = 0.148148148148...

    The exponent is −2 (and in the biased form it is (+ ()) = = ( )) The fraction is 0 (looking to the right of binary point in 1.0 is all zeroes) From these we can form the resulting 32-bit IEEE 754 binary32 format representation of real number 0.25:

  7. Algorism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorism

    In late medieval Latin, algorismus, the corruption of his name, simply meant the "decimal number system" that is still the meaning of modern English algorism. During the 17th century, the French form for the word – but not its meaning – was changed to algorithm , following the model of the word logarithm , this form alluding to the ancient ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plimpton_322

    In the reciprocal-pair proposal, the starting point is a single regular sexagesimal fraction x along with its reciprocal, 1/x. "Regular sexagesimal fraction" means that x is a product of (possibly negative) powers of 2, 3, and 5. The quantities (x−1/x)/2, 1, and (x+1/x)/2 then form what would now be called a rational Pythagorean triple ...

    This convergence implies that the Brazilian primes form a vanishingly small fraction of all prime numbers. For instance, among the 3.7×10 10 prime numbers smaller than 10 12 , only 8.8×10 4 are Brazilian.
