  2. Fold change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_change

    Here, fold change is defined as the ratio of the difference between final value and the initial value divided by the initial value. For quantities A and B, the fold change is given as (B − A)/A, or equivalently B/A − 1. This formulation has appealing properties such as no change being equal to zero, a 100% increase is equal to 1, and a 100% ...

  3. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    Analogously, the inverses of tetration are often called the super-root, and the super-logarithm (In fact, all hyperoperations greater than or equal to 3 have analogous inverses); e.g., in the function =, the two inverses are the cube super-root of y and the super-logarithm base y of x.

  4. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    Exponentiation with negative exponents is defined by the following identity, which holds for any integer n and nonzero b: =. [1] Raising 0 to a negative exponent is undefined but, in some circumstances, it may be interpreted as infinity (). [26]

  5. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    The base-10 logarithm of a normalized number (i.e., a × 10 b with 1 ≤ a < 10 and b as an integer), is rounded such that its decimal part (called mantissa) has as many significant figures as the significant figures in the normalized number. log 10 (3.000 × 10 4) = log 10 (10 4) + log 10 (3.000) = 4.000000...

  6. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

  7. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    In order to better distinguish this base-2 exponent from a base-10 exponent, a base-2 exponent is sometimes also indicated by using the letter "B" instead of "E", [26] a shorthand notation originally proposed by Bruce Alan Martin of Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1968, [27] as in 1.001 b B11 b (or shorter: 1.001B11).

  8. Factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial

    Use divide and conquer to compute the product of the primes whose exponents are odd; Divide all of the exponents by two (rounding down to an integer), recursively compute the product of the prime powers with these smaller exponents, and square the result; Multiply together the results of the two previous steps

  9. Simple continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_continued_fraction

    The first quotient, supposed divided by unity, will give the first fraction, which will be too small, namely, ⁠ 3 / 1 ⁠. Then, multiplying the numerator and denominator of this fraction by the second quotient and adding unity to the numerator, we shall have the second fraction, ⁠ 22 / 7 ⁠ , which will be too large.
