45,600 has 3, 4 or 5 significant figures depending on how the last zeros are used. For example, if the length of a road is reported as 45600 m without information about the reporting or measurement resolution, then it is not clear if the road length is precisely measured as 45600 m or if it is a rough estimate.
Hilbert's fifth problem is the fifth mathematical problem from the problem list publicized in 1900 by mathematician David Hilbert, and concerns the characterization of Lie groups. The theory of Lie groups describes continuous symmetry in mathematics; its importance there and in theoretical physics (for example quark theory ) grew steadily in ...
It is usually set at or below 5%. For example, when is set to 5%, the conditional probability of a type I error, given that the null hypothesis is true, is 5%, [37] and a statistically significant result is one where the observed p-value is less than (or equal to) 5%. [38]

Signum function = . In mathematics, the sign function or signum function (from signum, Latin for "sign") is a function that has the value −1, +1 or 0 according to whether the sign of a given real number is positive or negative, or the given number is itself zero.
Depending on what is known about the signal, estimation techniques can involve parametric or non-parametric approaches, and may be based on time-domain or frequency-domain analysis. For example, a common parametric technique involves fitting the observations to an autoregressive model. A common non-parametric technique is the periodogram.
The numerical methods for solving singular perturbation problems are also very popular. [2] For books on singular perturbation in ODE and PDE's, see for example Holmes, Introduction to Perturbation Methods, [3] Hinch, Perturbation methods [4] or Bender and Orszag, Advanced Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers.

The formulas provided at § Examples of window functions produce discrete sequences, as if a continuous window function has been "sampled". (See an example at Kaiser window.) Window sequences for spectral analysis are either symmetric or 1-sample short of symmetric (called periodic, [4] [5] DFT-even, or DFT-symmetric [2]: p.52 ).
