  2. Simpson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rule

    Namely, composite Simpson's 1/3 rule requires 1.8 times more points to achieve the same accuracy as trapezoidal rule. [8] Composite Simpson's 3/8 rule is even less accurate. Integration by Simpson's 1/3 rule can be represented as a weighted average with 2/3 of the value coming from integration by the trapezoidal rule with step h and 1/3 of the ...

  3. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

    Thus the first term to appear between ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ and ⁠ 2 / 5 ⁠ is ⁠ 3 / 8 ⁠, which appears in F 8. The total number of Farey neighbour pairs in F n is 2|F n | − 3. The Stern–Brocot tree is a data structure showing how the sequence is built up from 0 (= ⁠ 0 / 1 ⁠) and 1 (= ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠), by taking successive mediants.

  4. Three utilities problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_utilities_problem

    Two views of the utility graph, also known as the Thomsen graph or. The classical mathematical puzzle known as the three utilities problem or sometimes water, gas and electricity asks for non-crossing connections to be drawn between three houses and three utility companies in the plane. When posing it in the early 20th century, Henry Dudeney ...

  5. Wheat and chessboard problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem

    When expressed as exponents, the geometric series is: 2 0 + 2 1 + 2 2 + 2 3 + ... and so forth, up to 2 63. The base of each exponentiation, "2", expresses the doubling at each square, while the exponents represent the position of each square (0 for the first square, 1 for the second, and so on.). The number of grains is the 64th Mersenne number.

  6. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    Continued fraction. A finite regular continued fraction, where is a non-negative integer, is an integer, and is a positive integer, for . In mathematics, a continued fraction is an expression obtained through an iterative process of representing a number as the sum of its integer part and the reciprocal of another number, then writing this ...

  7. Octagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octagram

    Deeper truncations of the square can produce isogonal (vertex-transitive) intermediate star polygon forms with equal spaced vertices and two edge lengths. A truncated square is an octagon, t{4}={8}. A quasitruncated square, inverted as {4/3}, is an octagram, t{4/3}={8/3}. [2]

  8. Pareto principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle

    Add a cumulative percentage column to the table, then plot the information; Plot (#1) a curve with causes on x- and cumulative percentage on y-axis; Plot (#2) a bar graph with causes on x- and percent frequency on y-axis; Draw a horizontal dotted line at 80% from the y-axis to intersect the curve.

  9. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola. In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/ x or x−1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a / b is b / a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.
