  2. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

    Thus, in the previous example, the square root of 15 is . As another example, square root of 41 is 6 5 12 = 6.416 {\displaystyle 6{\tfrac {5}{12}}=6.416} while the actual value is 6.4031... It may simplify mental calculation to notice that this method is equivalent to the mean of the known square and the unknown square, divided by the known ...

  3. Algebraic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_number

    An algebraic number is a number that is a root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients. For example, the golden ratio, (+) /, is an algebraic number, because it is a root of the polynomial x 2 − x − 1. That is, it is a value for x for which the polynomial evaluates to zero.

  4. Fast inverse square root - Wikipedia

    Lighting and reflection calculations, as in the video game OpenArena, use the fast inverse square root code to compute angles of incidence and reflection.. Fast inverse square root, sometimes referred to as Fast InvSqrt() or by the hexadecimal constant 0x5F3759DF, is an algorithm that estimates , the reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse) of the square root of a 32-bit floating-point number in ...

    Symbolic Math toolbox ; Windows Calculator, since Windows 98, uses arbitrary precision for basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and 32 digits of precision for advanced operations (square root, transcendental functions).

  7. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    has no real number solution since no real number squared equals −1. Sometimes a quadratic equation has a root of multiplicity 2, such as: (+) = For this equation, −1 is a root of multiplicity 2. This means −1 appears twice, since the equation can be rewritten in factored form as

  8. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

  9. Windows Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Calculator

    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.
