  2. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogues of the ordinary trigonometric functions, but defined using the hyperbola rather than the circle.Just as the points (cos t, sin t) form a circle with a unit radius, the points (cosh t, sinh t) form the right half of the unit hyperbola.

  3. Multivalued function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivalued_function

    As a consequence, arctan(1) is intuitively related to several values: π /4, 5 π /4, −3 π /4, and so on. We can treat arctan as a single-valued function by restricting the domain of tan x to − π /2 < x < π /2 – a domain over which tan x is monotonically increasing. Thus, the range of arctan(x) becomes − π /2 < y < π /2.

  4. Milliradian - Wikipedia

    Example ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and moa. Milliradian adjustment is commonly used as a unit for clicks in the mechanical adjustment knobs (turrets) of iron and scope sights both in the military and civilian shooting sports. New shooters are often explained the principle ...

  5. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    The correct branch of the multiple valued function arctan x to use is the one that makes ν a continuous function of E(M) starting from ν E=0 = 0. Thus for 0 ≤ E < π use arctan x = arctan x, and for π < E ≤ 2π use arctan x = arctan x + π. At the specific value E = π for which the argument of tan is infinite, use ν = E.

  6. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    A small object nearby may subtend the same solid angle as a larger object farther away. For example, although the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it is also much closer to Earth. Indeed, as viewed from any point on Earth, both objects have approximately the same solid angle (and therefore apparent size). This is evident during a solar eclipse.

  7. Nine-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-point_stencil

    If, for example, c1=c2=1, the cxy component will vanish, resulting in the simple five-point stencil, rendering no controlled anisotropy. If c2>c1 and θ {\displaystyle \theta } =0, the anisotropic effects will be more pronounced in the vertical axis.

  8. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    For example, if a sample of bromobutane measured under standard conditions has an observed specific rotation of −9.2°, this indicates that the net effect is due to (9.2°/23.1°)(100%) = 40% of the R enantiomer.

  9. Trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometry

    Trigonometry (from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon) 'triangle' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with relationships between angles and side lengths of triangles.
