  2. List of mathematical series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_series

    An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.

  3. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a mathematical sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 3.

  4. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  5. Renard series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renard_series

    Renard series are a system of preferred numbers dividing an interval from 1 to 10 into 5, 10, 20, or 40 steps. [1] This set of preferred numbers was proposed ca. 1877 by French army engineer Colonel Charles Renard [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and reportedly published in an 1886 instruction for captive balloon troops, thus receiving the current name in ...

  6. E series of preferred numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_series_of_preferred_numbers

    The E series of preferred numbers was chosen such that when a component is manufactured it will end up in a range of roughly equally spaced values (geometric progression) on a logarithmic scale. Each E series subdivides each decade magnitude into steps of 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 192 values, termed E3 , E6 , and so forth to E192 , with maximum ...

  7. Wheat and chessboard problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem

    When expressed as exponents, the geometric series is: 2 0 + 2 1 + 2 2 + 2 3 + ... and so forth, up to 2 63. The base of each exponentiation, "2", expresses the doubling at each square, while the exponents represent the position of each square (0 for the first square, 1 for the second, and so on.). The number of grains is the 64th Mersenne number.

  8. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    The nth element of an arithmetico-geometric sequence is the product of the nth element of an arithmetic sequence and the nth element of a geometric sequence. [1] An arithmetico-geometric series is a sum of terms that are the elements of an arithmetico-geometric sequence. Arithmetico-geometric sequences and series arise in various applications ...

  9. Serial dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_dilution

    A serial dilution is the step-wise dilution of a substance in solution, either by using a constant dilution factor, or by using a variable factor between dilutions. If the dilution factor at each step is constant, this results in a geometric progression of the concentration in a logarithmic fashion.
