  2. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    For example, the multiples of ⁠ 1 / 13 ⁠ can be divided into two sets, with different repetends. The first set is: ⁠ 1 / 13 ⁠ = 0. 076923 ⁠ 10 / 13 ⁠ = 0. 769230 ⁠ 9 / 13 ⁠ = 0. 692307 ⁠ 12 / 13 ⁠ = 0. 923076 ⁠ 3 / 13 ⁠ = 0. 230769 ⁠ 4 / 13 ⁠ = 0. 307692; where the repetend of each fraction is a cyclic re-arrangement ...

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    A complex vector X ∈ C k is said to be normal if both its real and imaginary components jointly possess a 2k-dimensional multivariate normal distribution. The variance-covariance structure of X is described by two matrices: the variance matrix Γ, and the relation matrix C. Matrix normal distribution describes the case of normally distributed ...

  4. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    ((x),(y) = {239, 13 2} is a solution to the Pell equation x 22 y 2 = −1.) Formulae of this kind are known as Machin-like formulae . Machin's particular formula was used well into the computer era for calculating record numbers of digits of π , [ 39 ] but more recently other similar formulae have been used as well.

  5. Statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics

    Descriptive statistics are most often concerned with two sets of properties of a distribution (sample or population): central tendency (or location) seeks to characterize the distribution's central or typical value, while dispersion (or variability) characterizes the extent to which members of the distribution depart from its center and each other.

  6. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    Arithmetic values thought to have been represented by parts of the Eye of Horus. The scribes of ancient Egypt used two different systems for their fractions, Egyptian fractions (not related to the binary number system) and Horus-Eye fractions (so called because many historians of mathematics believe that the symbols used for this system could be arranged to form the eye of Horus, although this ...

    8-inch floppy disk, inserted in drive, (3½-inch floppy diskette, in front, shown for scale) 3½-inch, high-density floppy diskettes with adhesive labels affixed The first commercial floppy disks, developed in the late 1960s, were 8 inches (203.2 mm) in diameter; [4] [5] they became commercially available in 1971 as a component of IBM products and both drives and disks were then sold ...

    According to green search engine Ecosia, the industry standard for search engines is estimated to be about 0.2 grams of CO 2 emission per search. [136] Google's 40,000 searches per second translate to 8 kg CO 2 per second or over 252 million kilos of CO 2 per year.

  9. Lattice constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_constant

    Unit cell definition using parallelepiped with lengths a, b, c and angles between the sides given by α, β, γ [1]. A lattice constant or lattice parameter is one of the physical dimensions and angles that determine the geometry of the unit cells in a crystal lattice, and is proportional to the distance between atoms in the crystal.
