  2. Stripping ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripping_ratio

    It is common for the stripping ratio to be used as an indicator of economic value for an open pit mine. [1] This is because removal of waste is a cost to the mine whereas mining ore leads to revenue. A stripping ratio is commonly used as a quick method to evaluate a mine’s or a design’s value.

  3. Holliday-Segar formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holliday-Segar_formula

    The Holliday-Segar formula is a formula to help approximate water and caloric loss (and therefore the water requirements) using a patient's body weight. [1] Primarily aimed at pediatric patients, the Holliday-Segar formula is the most commonly used estimate of daily caloric requirements. [ 2 ]

  4. Formula for primes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_for_primes

    Because the set of primes is a computably enumerable set, by Matiyasevich's theorem, it can be obtained from a system of Diophantine equations. Jones et al. (1976) found an explicit set of 14 Diophantine equations in 26 variables, such that a given number k + 2 is prime if and only if that system has a solution in nonnegative integers: [7]

    16 from 18 gives "2" 76 is 6 dozen and 4, giving 10; plus 1 gives 11, i.e. "4". Total "6" The item for February is "3". Total 9, i.e. "2" 23 gives "2". Total "4" Correction for Leap Year gives "3". Answer, "Wednesday". Dates before 1752 would in England be given Old Style with 25 March as the first day of the new year. Carroll's method however ...

  6. Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker–Campbell...

    An earlier statement of the form was adumbrated by Friedrich Schur in 1890 [3] where a convergent power series is given, with terms recursively defined. [4] This qualitative form is what is used in the most important applications, such as the relatively accessible proofs of the Lie correspondence and in quantum field theory .

  7. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    The formula is still valid if x is a complex number, and is also called Euler's formula in this more general case. [1] Euler's formula is ubiquitous in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The physicist Richard Feynman called the equation "our jewel" and "the most remarkable formula in mathematics". [2]

  8. Weibull distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution

    The form of the density function of the Weibull distribution changes drastically with the value of k. For 0 < k < 1, the density function tends to ∞ as x approaches zero from above and is strictly decreasing. For k = 1, the density function tends to 1/λ as x approaches zero from above and is

  9. Faulhaber's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faulhaber's_formula

    A derivation of Faulhaber's formula using the umbral form is available in The Book of Numbers by John Horton Conway and Richard K. Guy. [17] Classically, this umbral form was considered as a notational convenience. In the modern umbral calculus, on the other hand, this is given a formal mathematical underpinning.
