  2. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    For example, aligning the rightmost 1 on the C scale with 2 on the LL2 scale, 3 on the C scale lines up with 8 on the LL3 scale. To extract a cube root using a slide rule with only C/D and A/B scales, align 1 on the B cursor with the base number on the A scale (taking care as always to distinguish between the lower and upper halves of the A scale).

  3. Slide rule scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule_scale

    Keuffel and Esser 7" slide rule (5" scale, 1954) [1] A slide rule scale is a line with graduated markings inscribed along the length of a slide rule used for mathematical calculations. The earliest such device had a single logarithmic scale for performing multiplication and division, but soon an improved technique was developed which involved ...

    An example is the function that relates each real number x to its square x 2. The output of a function f corresponding to an input x is denoted by f(x) (read "f of x"). In this example, if the input is −3, then the output is 9, and we may write f(−3) = 9. The input variable(s) are sometimes referred to as the argument(s) of the function.

    The first American-made pocket-sized calculator, the Bowmar 901B (popularly termed The Bowmar Brain), measuring 5.2 by 3.0 by 1.5 inches (132 mm × 76 mm × 38 mm), came out in the Autumn of 1971, with four functions and an eight-digit red LED display, for US$240, while in August 1972 the four-function Sinclair Executive became the first ...

  8. Dyadic cubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyadic_cubes

    There is a universal constant C > 0 such that for any ball B with radius r < 1/3, there is α in {0,1/3} n and a cube Q in Δ α containing B whose diameter is no more than Cr. More generally, if B is a ball with any radius r > 0, there is α in {0, 1/3, 4/3, 4 2 /3, ...} n and a cube Q in Δ α containing B whose diameter is no more than Cr .

    On the other hand, for =, the sequence is 0, −1, 0, −1, 0, ..., which is bounded, so −1 does belong to the set. The Mandelbrot set can also be defined as the connectedness locus of the family of quadratic polynomials f ( z ) = z 2 + c {\displaystyle f(z)=z^{2}+c} , the subset of the space of parameters c {\displaystyle c} for which the ...
