  2. Formulas for generating Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulas_for_generating...

    Using tangent half-angle formulas, it follows immediately that α = sin A = 2r / (1 + r2) and β = cos A = (1 − r2) / (1 + r2) are both rational and that α2 + β2 = 1. Multiplying up by the smallest integer that clears the denominators of α and β recovers the original primitive Pythagorean triple.

  3. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    If x is rational, it will have two continued fraction representations that are finite, x 1 and x 2, and similarly a rational y will have two representations, y 1 and y 2. The coefficients beyond the last in any of these representations should be interpreted as +∞; and the best rational will be one of z(x 1, y 1), z(x 1, y 2), z(x 2, y 1), or ...

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

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

    There are three methods for displaying formulas in Wikipedia: raw HTML, HTML with math templates (abbreviated here as { {math}}), and a subset of LaTeX implemented with the HTML markup <math></math> (referred to as LaTeX in this article).

  6. Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm_for...

    2 + 8x 2 − 1 = 0. Since P 2 (x) < 0 for x = ⁠ 1 / 9 ⁠, and P 2 (x) > 0 for all x > ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠, the next term in the greedy expansion is ⁠ 1 / 9 ⁠. If x 3 is the remaining fraction after this step of the greedy expansion, it satisfies the equation P 2 (x 3 + ⁠ 1 / 9 ⁠) = 0, which can again be expanded as a polynomial equation ...

  7. Legendre polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_polynomials

    Legendre polynomials occur in the solution of Laplace's equation of the static potential, ∇ 2 Φ(x) = 0, in a charge-free region of space, using the method of separation of variables, where the boundary conditions have axial symmetry (no dependence on an azimuthal angle).

  8. Algebraic fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_fraction

    Algebraic fraction. In algebra, an algebraic fraction is a fraction whose numerator and denominator are algebraic expressions. Two examples of algebraic fractions are and . Algebraic fractions are subject to the same laws as arithmetic fractions. A rational fraction is an algebraic fraction whose numerator and denominator are both polynomials.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS. It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Excel forms part of the Microsoft 365 suite of software.
