    The decimal expansion of the root begins as (sequence A092526 in the OEIS). The minimal polynomial for the reciprocal root is the depressed cubic x 3 + x − 1 {\displaystyle x^{3}+x-1} , [ 2 ] thus the simplest solution with Cardano's formula ,

  4. Zeller's congruence - Wikipedia

    Unfortunately, in the truncating way most computer languages implement the remainder function, −2 mod 7 returns a result of −2. So, to implement Zeller's congruence on a computer, the formulas should be altered slightly to ensure a positive numerator. The simplest way to do this is to replace − 2J with + 5J and − J with + 6J.

    Its primary storage was serial-access mercury delay lines capable of storing 1,000 words of 11 decimal digits plus sign (72-bit words). In 1952, Compagnie des Machines Bull released the Gamma 3 computer, which became a large success in Europe, eventually selling more than 1,200 units, and the first computer produced in more than 1,000 units ...

  7. High availability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability

    Passive redundancy is used to achieve high availability by including enough excess capacity in the design to accommodate a performance decline. The simplest example is a boat with two separate engines driving two separate propellers. The boat continues toward its destination despite failure of a single engine or propeller.

    You must convert the APY into a decimal by dividing the amount by 100. In this case, 5/100 = 0.05. Since this example has monthly compounding, the number of compounding periods would be 12.

    The total number of valid votes cast for each party is then divided by the quota, and the sum is rounded down, disregarding decimals, to produce the number of seats the party is awarded (100§2), so that a sum of 5.6 for example awards 5 seats to that party.
