In layman's terms, the genus is the number of "holes" an object has ("holes" interpreted in the sense of doughnut holes; a hollow sphere would be considered as having zero holes in this sense). [3] A torus has 1 such hole, while a sphere has 0. The green surface pictured above has 2 holes of the relevant sort. For instance:
As stated above, the complexity of finding a convex hull as a function of the input size n is lower bounded by Ω(n log n). However, the complexity of some convex hull algorithms can be characterized in terms of both input size n and the output size h (the number of points in the hull). Such algorithms are called output-sensitive algorithms.
A meromorphic function may have infinitely many zeros and poles. This is the case for the gamma function (see the image in the infobox), which is meromorphic in the whole complex plane, and has a simple pole at every non-positive integer. The Riemann zeta function is also meromorphic in the whole complex plane, with a single pole of order 1 at ...
b 1 is the number of one-dimensional or "circular" holes; b 2 is the number of two-dimensional "voids" or "cavities". Thus, for example, a torus has one connected surface component so b 0 = 1, two "circular" holes (one equatorial and one meridional) so b 1 = 2, and a single cavity enclosed within the surface so b 2 = 1.
The shell method goes as follows: Consider a volume in three dimensions obtained by rotating a cross-section in the xy-plane around the y-axis.Suppose the cross-section is defined by the graph of the positive function f(x) on the interval [a, b].
In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called "roots", of continuous functions. A zero of a function f is a number x such that f ( x ) = 0 . As, generally, the zeros of a function cannot be computed exactly nor expressed in closed form , root-finding algorithms provide approximations to zeros.

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.
