  2. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

  3. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    Consider all cells (x, y) in which both x and y are integers between − r and r. Starting at 0, add 1 for each cell whose distance to the origin (0, 0) is less than or equal to r. When finished, divide the sum, representing the area of a circle of radius r, by r 2 to find the approximation of π. For example, if r is 5, then the cells ...

  4. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    The circumference is 2 π r, and the area of a triangle is half the base times the height, yielding the area π r 2 for the disk. Prior to Archimedes, Hippocrates of Chios was the first to show that the area of a disk is proportional to the square of its diameter, as part of his quadrature of the lune of Hippocrates , [ 2 ] but did not identify ...

  7. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    For instance, the square of the linear polynomial x + 1 is the quadratic polynomial (x + 1) 2 = x 2 + 2x + 1. One of the important properties of squaring, for numbers as well as in many other mathematical systems, is that (for all numbers x), the square of x is the same as the square of its additive inverse −x.

  8. Exponentiation by squaring - Wikipedia

    x 1 = x; x 2 = x 2 for i = k - 2 to 0 do if n i = 0 then x 2 = x 1 * x 2; x 1 = x 1 2 else x 1 = x 1 * x 2; x 2 = x 2 2 return x 1 The algorithm performs a fixed sequence of operations ( up to log n ): a multiplication and squaring takes place for each bit in the exponent, regardless of the bit's specific value.
