  2. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    The entire fraction may be expressed as a single composition, in which case it is hyphenated, or as a number of fractions with a numerator of one, in which case they are not. (For example, two-fifths is the fraction2 / 5 ⁠ and two fifths is the same fraction understood as 2 instances of ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠.) Fractions should always be ...

  3. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    On a single-step or immediate-execution calculator, the user presses a key for each operation, calculating all the intermediate results, before the final value is shown. [1] [2] [3] On an expression or formula calculator, one types in an expression and then presses a key, such as "=" or "Enter", to evaluate the expression.

  4. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

    In musical rhythm, the LCD is used in cross-rhythms and polymeters to determine the fewest notes necessary to count time given two or more metric divisions. For example, much African music is recorded in Western notation using 12 8 because each measure is divided by 4 and by 3, the LCD of which is 12.

  5. Multiplication sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_sign

    In algebra, it is a notation to resolve ambiguity (for instance, "b times 2" may be written as b⋅2, to avoid being confused with a value called b 2). This notation is used wherever multiplication should be written explicitly, such as in " ab = a ⋅2 for b = 2 "; this usage is also seen in English-language texts.

  6. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    For example, multiplication is granted a higher precedence than addition, and it has been this way since the introduction of modern algebraic notation. [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9.

  7. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    For the folded general continued fractions of both expressions, the rate convergence μ = (3 − √ 8) 2 = 17 − √ 288 ≈ 0.02943725, hence ⁠ 1 / μ ⁠ = (3 + √ 8) 2 = 17 + √ 288 ≈ 33.97056, whose common logarithm is 1.531... ≈ ⁠ 26 / 17 ⁠ > ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, thus adding at least three digits per two terms. This is because the ...

    TI's long-running TI-30 series being one of the most widely used scientific calculators in classrooms. Casio, Canon, and Sharp, produced their graphing calculators, with Casio's FX series (beginning with the Casio FX-1 in 1972 [9]). Casio was the first company to produce a Graphing calculator (Casio fx-7000G).
