  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS.It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

  4. Pivot table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_table

    A pivot table is a table of values which are aggregations of groups of individual values from a more extensive table (such as from a database, spreadsheet, or business intelligence program) within one or more discrete categories. The aggregations or summaries of the groups of the individual terms might include sums, averages, counts, or other ...

  5. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

  6. Brent's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent's_method

    Suppose that we want to solve the equation f(x) = 0. As with the bisection method, we need to initialize Dekker's method with two points, say a 0 and b 0, such that f(a 0) and f(b 0) have opposite signs. If f is continuous on [a 0, b 0], the intermediate value theorem guarantees the existence of a solution between a 0 and b 0.

  7. Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method

    The secant method is an iterative numerical method for finding a zero of a function f.Given two initial values x 0 and x 1, the method proceeds according to the recurrence relation

  8. Formula editor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_editor

    A formula editor is a computer program that is used to typeset mathematical formulas and mathematical expressions. Formula editors typically serve two purposes: They allow word processing and publication of technical content either for print publication, or to generate raster images for web pages or screen presentations.

  9. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    The simplest root-finding algorithm is the bisection method.Let f be a continuous function for which one knows an interval [a, b] such that f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs (a bracket).
