  2. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    The simplest case is for continuously compounded interest. Example: Taking D as the interest rate in percent, slide the index (the "1" at the right or left end of the scale) of C to the percent on D. The corresponding value on LL2 directly below the index will be the multiplier for 10 cycles of interest (typically years).

  3. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    Conversely the period of the repeating decimal of a fraction ⁠ c / d ⁠ will be (at most) the smallest number n such that 10 n − 1 is divisible by d. For example, the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ has d = 7, and the smallest k that makes 10 k − 1 divisible by 7 is k = 6, because 999999 = 7 × 142857. The period of the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ is ...

    It is generally a good practice to convert it to {} format, but coherency must be respected; that is, such a conversion must be done in a whole article, or at least in a whole section. Moreover, such a conversion must be identified as such in the edit summary, and making other changes in the same edit should be avoided.

    [22] [45] Israeli manufacturer FAB Defense offers a complete PDW conversion kit for the Five-seven, designated the KPOS G2 FN 5.7, that allows the pistol to be reconfigured into a shoulder-fired personal defense weapon, and CornerShot offers a weapon system compatible with the Five-seven that allows the shooter to aim and fire around corners ...

  7. Quantum-cascade laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum-cascade_laser

    This is the simplest of the quantum cascade lasers. An optical waveguide is first fabricated out of the quantum cascade material to form the gain medium. The ends of the crystalline semiconductor device are then cleaved to form two parallel mirrors on either end of the waveguide, thus forming a Fabry–Pérot resonator. The residual ...

  8. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    To say that the golden ratio ⁠ ⁠ is rational means that ⁠ ⁠ is a fraction ⁠ / ⁠ where ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠ are integers. We may take ⁠ n / m {\displaystyle n/m} ⁠ to be in lowest terms and ⁠ n {\displaystyle n} ⁠ and ⁠ m {\displaystyle m} ⁠ to be positive.

    On the design rationale of the x87 80-bit format, Kahan notes: "This Extended format is designed to be used, with negligible loss of speed, for all but the simplest arithmetic with float and double operands. For example, it should be used for scratch variables in loops that implement recurrences like polynomial evaluation, scalar products ...
