  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel's storage of numbers in binary format also affects its accuracy. [3] To illustrate, the lower figure tabulates the simple addition 1 + x − 1 for several values of x. All the values of x begin at the 15 th decimal, so Excel must take them into account. Before calculating the sum 1 + x, Excel first approximates x as a binary number

  3. Inverse quadratic interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_quadratic...

    The asymptotic behaviour is very good: generally, the iterates x n converge fast to the root once they get close. However, performance is often quite poor if the initial values are not close to the actual root. For instance, if by any chance two of the function values f n−2, f n−1 and f n coincide, the algorithm fails completely. Thus ...

  4. Tupper's self-referential formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupper's_self-referential...

    The formula is a general-purpose method of decoding a bitmap stored in the constant , and it could be used to draw any other image. When applied to the unbounded positive range 0y {\displaystyle 0\leq y} , the formula tiles a vertical swath of the plane with a pattern that contains all possible 17-pixel-tall bitmaps.

  5. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    For example, given a = f(x) = a 0 x 0 + a 1 x 1 + ··· and b = g(x) = b 0 x 0 + b 1 x 1 + ···, the product ab is a specific value of W(x) = f(x)g(x). One may easily find points along W(x) at small values of x, and interpolation based on those points will yield the terms of W(x) and the specific product ab. As fomulated in Karatsuba ...

  7. Memento pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_pattern

    The caretaker is going to do something to the originator, but wants to be able to undo the change. The caretaker first asks the originator for a memento object. Then it does whatever operation (or sequence of operations) it was going to do. To roll back to the state before the operations, it returns the memento object to the originator.

  8. Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittaker–Shannon...

    The Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula or sinc interpolation is a method to construct a continuous-time bandlimited function from a sequence of real numbers. The formula dates back to the works of E. Borel in 1898, and E. T. Whittaker in 1915, and was cited from works of J. M. Whittaker in 1935, and in the formulation of the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem by Claude Shannon in 1949.

  9. Rollback (data management) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollback_(data_management)

    SQL refers to Structured Query Language, a kind of language used to access, update and manipulate database. In SQL, ROLLBACK is a command that causes all data changes since the last START TRANSACTION or BEGIN to be discarded by the relational database management systems (RDBMS), so that the state of the data is "rolled back" to the way it was before those changes were made.
