  2. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

    In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.

  3. Standard streams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_streams

    On POSIX systems, the file descriptor for standard input is 0 (zero); the POSIX <unistd.h> definition is STDIN_FILENO; the corresponding C <stdio.h> abstraction is provided via the FILE* stdin global variable. Similarly, the global C++ std::cin variable of type <iostream> provides an abstraction via C++ streams.

  4. Rational data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_data_type

    A variable or value of that type is usually represented as a fraction m/n where m and n are two integer numbers, either with a fixed or arbitrary precision.Depending on the language, the denominator n may be constrained to be non-zero, and the two numbers may be kept in reduced form (without any common divisors except 1).

  5. Pipeline (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(Unix)

    Such pipemill may not perform as intended if the body of the loop includes commands, such as cat and ssh, that read from stdin: [12] on the loop's first iteration, such a program (let's call it the drain) will read the remaining output from command, and the loop will then terminate (with results depending on the specifics of the drain). There ...

  6. File descriptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor

    File descriptors for a single process, file table and inode table. Note that multiple file descriptors can refer to the same file table entry (e.g., as a result of the dup system call [3]: 104 ) and that multiple file table entries can in turn refer to the same inode (if it has been opened multiple times; the table is still simplified because it represents inodes by file names, even though an ...

  7. Continued fraction factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction...

    [2] The continued fraction method is based on Dixon's factorization method. It uses convergents in the regular continued fraction expansion of , +. Since this is a quadratic irrational, the continued fraction must be periodic (unless n is square, in which case the factorization is obvious).

  8. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    A continued fraction is a mathematical expression that can be written as a fraction with a denominator that is a sum that contains another simple or continued fraction. . Depending on whether this iteration terminates with a simple fraction or not, the continued fraction is finite or i

  9. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating...

    This is described in a SIGGRAPH 2000 paper [6] (see section 4.3) and further documented in US patent 7518615. [7] It was popularized by its use in the open-source OpenEXR image format. Nvidia and Microsoft defined the half datatype in the Cg language, released in early 2002, and implemented it in silicon in the GeForce FX, released in late 2002 ...
