  2. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    The picture to the right illustrates ⁠ 3 / 4 ⁠ of a cake. Other uses for fractions are to represent ratios and division. [1] Thus the fraction ⁠ 3 / 4 ⁠ can also be used to represent the ratio 3:4 (the ratio of the part to the whole), and the division 3 ÷ 4 (three divided by four).

  3. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For example, for 2 5 a + 1 there are 3 increases as 1 iterates to 2, 1, 2, 1, and finally to 2 so the result is 3 3 a + 2; for 2 2 a + 1 there is only 1 increase as 1 rises to 2 and falls to 1 so the result is 3a + 1. When b is 2 k − 1 then there will be k rises and the result will be 3 k a + 3 k − 1.

    It is unknown whether these constants are transcendental in general, but Γ(⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) and Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) were shown to be transcendental by G. V. Chudnovsky. Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) / 4 √ π has also long been known to be transcendental, and Yuri Nesterenko proved in 1996 that Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠), π, and e π are algebraically independent.

  5. Leibniz formula for π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π

    In mathematics, the Leibniz formula for π, named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, states that = + + = = +,. an alternating series.. It is sometimes called the Madhava–Leibniz series as it was first discovered by the Indian mathematician Madhava of Sangamagrama or his followers in the 14th–15th century (see Madhava series), [1] and was later independently rediscovered by James Gregory in ...

  6. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    The degree of the sum (or difference) of two polynomials is less than or equal to the greater of their degrees; that is, and . For example, the degree of is 2, and 2 ≤ max {3, 3}. The equality always holds when the degrees of the polynomials are different. For example, the degree of is 3, and 3 = max {3, 2}.

  7. Quantile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile

    Quantile. Probability density of a normal distribution, with quantiles shown. The area below the red curve is the same in the intervals (−∞,Q1), (Q1,Q2), (Q2,Q3), and (Q3,+∞). In statistics and probability, quantiles are cut points dividing the range of a probability distribution into continuous intervals with equal probabilities, or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintuple_meter

    The two quintuple tālas in these repertories are Jhaptāl— 2+3+(2)+3 —and Sūltāl— 2+(2)+2+2+(2). Both are measured by ten mātrā units, but Jhaptāl is divided into four unequal vibhāg (the third being a khālī beat) in two halves of five mātrā each, and Sūltāl is divided into five equal vibhāg , the second and fifth of which ...

  9. Schläfli symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schläfli_symbol

    The Schläfli symbol of a regular polyhedron is {p, q} if its faces are p -gons, and each vertex is surrounded by q faces (the vertex figure is a q -gon). For example, {5,3} is the regular dodecahedron. It has pentagonal (5 edges) faces, and 3 pentagons around each vertex.
