  2. Rule of 78s - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_78s

    The denominator of a Rule of 78s loan is the sum of the integers between 1 and n, inclusive, where n is the number of payments. For a twelve-month loan, the sum of numbers from 1 to 12 is 78 (1 + 2 + 3 + . . . +12 = 78). For a 24-month loan, the denominator is 300. The sum of the numbers from 1 to n is given by the equation n * (n+1) / 2.

  3. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    For example, 1.6 would be rounded to 1 with probability 0.4 and to 2 with probability 0.6. Stochastic rounding can be accurate in a way that a rounding function can never be. For example, suppose one started with 0 and added 0.3 to that one hundred times while rounding the running total between every addition.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

    The 360-day calendar is a method of measuring durations used in financial markets, in computer models, in ancient literature, and in prophetic literary genres.. It is based on merging the three major calendar systems into one complex clock [citation needed], with the 360-day year derived from the average year of the lunar and the solar: (365.2425 (solar) + 354.3829 (lunar))/2 = 719.6254/2 ...

    Otherwise, any series of real numbers or complex numbers that converges but does not converge absolutely is conditionally convergent. Any conditionally convergent sum of real numbers can be rearranged to yield any other real number as a limit, or to diverge. These claims are the content of the Riemann series theorem.

  7. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    Note that the computation involves squaring the changes in the x, y, and z values, adding these squares together and taking the square root of the sum. [ 21 ] Leverett [ 22 ] has developed a methodology where the length of a limb is measured using a monocular w/reticle aligned along the orientation of the limb, the distance to either end of the ...
