    Lander, Parkin, and Selfridge conjecture: if the sum of -th powers of positive integers is equal to a different sum of -th powers of positive integers, then +. Lemoine's conjecture : all odd integers greater than 5 {\displaystyle 5} can be represented as the sum of an odd prime number and an even semiprime .

  3. Fission product yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_product_yield

    Yield is usually stated as percentage per fission, so that the total yield percentages sum to 200%. Less often, it is stated as percentage of all fission products, so that the percentages sum to 100%. Ternary fission, about 0.2–0.4% of fissions, also produces a third light nucleus such as helium-4 (90%) or tritium (7%).

  4. Algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra

    Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies certain abstract systems, known as algebraic structures, and the manipulation of expressions within those systems. It is a generalization of arithmetic that introduces variables and algebraic operations other than the standard arithmetic operations, such as addition and multiplication.

  5. Octal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal

    By performing the calculation above in the familiar decimal system, we see why 112 in octal is equal to + + = in decimal. Octal numerals can be easily converted from binary representations (similar to a quaternary numeral system ) by grouping consecutive binary digits into groups of three (starting from the right, for integers).

  6. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    Five great-great-grandparents contributed to the male descendant's X chromosome (=), etc. (This assumes that all ancestors of a given descendant are independent, but if any genealogy is traced far enough back in time, ancestors begin to appear on multiple lines of the genealogy, until eventually a population founder appears on all lines of the ...

  7. Quaternary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_numeral_system

    As with the octal and hexadecimal numeral systems, quaternary has a special relation to the binary numeral system.Each radix four, eight, and sixteen is a power of two, so the conversion to and from binary is implemented by matching each digit with two, three, or four binary digits, or bits.

  8. Becquerel - Wikipedia

    1 Bq = 1 s −1. A special name was introduced for the reciprocal second (s −1) to represent radioactivity to avoid potentially dangerous mistakes with prefixes.For example, 1 μs −1 would mean 10 6 disintegrations per second: (10 −6 s) −1 = 10 6 s −1, [4] whereas 1 μBq would mean 1 disintegration per 1 million seconds.

  9. 0 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0

    For example, the decimal number 205 is the sum of two hundreds and five ones, with the 0 digit indicating that no tens are added. The digit plays the same role in decimal fractions and in the decimal representation of other real numbers (indicating whether any tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc., are present) and in bases other than 10 (for ...
