  2. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    In the 3rd century BCE, Archimedes proved the sharp inequalities 223 ⁄ 71 < π < 22 ⁄ 7, by means of regular 96-gons (accuracies of 2·10 −4 and 4·10 −4, respectively). [ 15 ] In the 2nd century CE, Ptolemy used the value 377 ⁄ 120 , the first known approximation accurate to three decimal places (accuracy 2·10 −5 ). [ 16 ]

  3. Troland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troland

    The troland typically refers to the ordinary or photopic troland, which is defined in terms of the photopic luminance: T = L × p {\displaystyle \mathrm {T} =\mathrm {L} \times \mathrm {p} } , where L is the photopic luminance in cd m −2 and p is pupil area in mm 2 .

  4. Vanishing moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_moment

    Vanishing moments serve as an indicator of how a function decreases in magnitude. For example, consider the function: = ⁡ ()As the input value increases toward infinity, this function decreases at a rate proportional to .

  5. Linking number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_number

    The two curves of this (2, 8)-torus link have linking number four. In mathematics, the linking number is a numerical invariant that describes the linking of two closed curves in three-dimensional space. Intuitively, the linking number represents the number of times that each curve winds around the other.

  6. Electromagnetic four-potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_four-potential

    An electromagnetic four-potential is a relativistic vector function from which the electromagnetic field can be derived. It combines both an electric scalar potential and a magnetic vector potential into a single four-vector.

  7. Bent function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_function

    The simplest examples of bent functions, written in algebraic normal form, are F(x 1, x 2) = x 1 x 2 and G(x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4) = x 1 x 2 ⊕ x 3 x 4. This pattern continues: x 1 x 2 ⊕ x 3 x 4 ⊕ … ⊕ x n−1 x n is a bent function for every even n, but there is a wide variety of other bent functions as n increases. [5]
