  2. Decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

    Place value of number in decimal system. The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary / ˈ d iː n ər i / [1] or decanary) is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers (decimal fractions) of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.

  3. Level-set method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level-set_method

    This is a partial differential equation, in particular a Hamilton–Jacobi equation, and can be solved numerically, for example, by using finite differences on a Cartesian grid. [2] [3] However, the numerical solution of the level set equation may require advanced techniques. Simple finite difference methods fail quickly.

  4. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    In some countries, acuity is expressed as a simple fraction, and in some as a decimal number. Using the metre as a unit of measurement, (fractional) visual acuity is expressed relative to 6/6. Otherwise, using the foot, visual acuity is expressed relative to 20/20. For all practical purposes, 20/20 vision is equivalent to 6/6.

  5. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    A pendulum with a period of 2.8 s and a frequency of 0.36 Hz. For cyclical phenomena such as oscillations, waves, or for examples of simple harmonic motion, the term frequency is defined as the number of cycles or repetitions per unit of time.

  6. Standard normal table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_normal_table

    The label for columns contains the second decimal place of Z. The values within the table are the probabilities corresponding to the table type. These probabilities are calculations of the area under the normal curve from the starting point (0 for cumulative from mean , negative infinity for cumulative and positive infinity for complementary ...

  7. Caliber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliber

    While modern firearms are generally referred to by the name of the cartridge the gun is chambered for, they are still categorized together based on bore diameter. [citation needed] For example, a firearm might be described as a "30 caliber rifle", which could accommodate any of a wide range of cartridges using a roughly 0.30 inches (7.6 mm) projectile; or as a "22 rimfire", referring to any ...

  8. Julia set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_set

    is the smallest closed set containing at least three points which is completely invariant under f. ⁡ is the closure of the set of repelling periodic points. For all but at most two points , the Julia set is the set of limit points of the full backwards orbit (). (This suggests a simple algorithm for plotting Julia sets, see below.)

  9. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    This is a form of bending used to produce long, thin sheet metal parts. The machine that bends the metal is called a press brake. The lower part of the press contains a V-shaped groove called the die. The upper part of the press contains a punch that presses the sheet metal down into the v-shaped die, causing it to bend. [21]
