  2. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    For example, = = =. The result 1 × 10 − 3 {\displaystyle 1\times 10^{-3}} is clearly representable, but there is not much faith in it. This is closely related to the phenomenon of catastrophic cancellation , in which the two numbers are known to be approximations.

  3. Significand - Wikipedia

    The same value can also be represented in scientific notation with the significand 1.2345 as a fractional coefficient, and +2 as the exponent (and 10 as the base): 123.45 = 1.2345 × 10 +2. Schmid, however, called this representation with a significand ranging between 1.0 and 10 a modified normalized form. [12] [13]

    As a power of ten, the scaling factor is then indicated separately at the end of the number. For example, the orbital period of Jupiter's moon Io is 152,853.5047 seconds, a value that would be represented in standard-form scientific notation as 1.528535047 × 10 5 seconds. Floating-point representation is similar in concept to scientific notation.

    The Bradford protein assay (also known as the Coomassie protein assay) was developed by Marion M. Bradford in 1976. [1] It is a quick and accurate [2] spectroscopic analytical procedure used to measure the concentration of protein in a solution.

    The most comprehensive descriptions of the SMARTS language can be found in Daylight's SMARTS theory manual, [1] tutorial [2] and examples. [3] OpenEye Scientific Software has developed their own version of SMARTS which differs from the original Daylight version in how the R descriptor (see cyclicity below) is defined.

  8. Big O notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation

    Big O notation is a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity. Big O is a member of a family of notations invented by German mathematicians Paul Bachmann, [1] Edmund Landau, [2] and others, collectively called Bachmann–Landau notation or asymptotic notation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    The modern binary number system, the basis for binary code, is an invention by Gottfried Leibniz in 1689 and appears in his article Explication de l'Arithmétique Binaire (English: Explanation of the Binary Arithmetic) which uses only the characters 1 and 0, and some remarks on its usefulness.
