    The formulas for addition and subtraction involving a small angle may be used for interpolating between trigonometric table values: Example: sin(0.755) ...

  3. Quantum yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_yield

    The fluorescence quantum yield is defined as the ratio of the number of photons emitted to the number of photons absorbed. [2]= # # Fluorescence quantum yield is measured on a scale from 0 to 1.0, but is often represented as a percentage.

  4. Approximation error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximation_error

    Best rational approximants for π (green circle), e (blue diamond), ϕ (pink oblong), (√3)/2 (grey hexagon), 1/√2 (red octagon) and 1/√3 (orange triangle) calculated from their continued fraction expansions, plotted as slopes y/x with errors from their true values (black dashes)

  5. U.S. Producer Price Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Producer_Price_Index

    Proportion of change × 100 = Percent change For example, in the first quarter of 2016, the PPI for final demand increased 0.5 percent because the index levels were 109.7 in March 2016 and 109.1 in December 2015. The percent change is calculated as: 109.7 - 109.1 = 0.6 0.6 ÷ 109.1 = 0.005 0.005 × 100 = 0.5 percent [9]

    For example, if the yearly percentage rate was 6% (i.e. 0.06), then r would be / or 0.5% (i.e. 0.005). N - the number of monthly payments, called the loan's term, and; P - the amount borrowed, known as the loan's principal. In the standardized calculations used in the United States, c is given by the formula: [4]

  7. Porosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porosity

    Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%.

  8. Molality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molality

    The term molality is formed in analogy to molarity which is the molar concentration of a solution. The earliest known use of the intensive property molality and of its adjectival unit, the now-deprecated molal, appears to have been published by G. N. Lewis and M. Randall in the 1923 publication of Thermodynamics and the Free Energies of Chemical Substances. [3]

  9. Effective interest rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_interest_rate

    The effective interest rate (EIR), effective annual interest rate, annual equivalent rate (AER) or simply effective rate is the percentage of interest on a loan or financial product if compound interest accumulates in periods different than a year. [1] It is the compound interest payable annually in arrears, based on the nominal interest rate ...
