  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  3. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    Given real numbers x and y, integers m and n and the set of integers, floor and ceiling may be defined by the equations ⌊ ⌋ = {}, ⌈ ⌉ = {}. Since there is exactly one integer in a half-open interval of length one, for any real number x, there are unique integers m and n satisfying the equation

  4. Windows Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Calculator

    A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0. [5]In Windows 3.0, a scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial-based functions, trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic operations, statistical functions such as single variable statistics and linear regression.

  5. 6174 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6174

    Select any four-digit number which has at least two different digits (leading zeros are allowed), Create two new four-digit numbers by arranging the original digits in a.) ascending and b.) descending order (adding leading zeros if necessary). Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. If the result is not 6174, return to step 2 and ...

  6. Topological sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_sorting

    An alternative algorithm for topological sorting is based on depth-first search.The algorithm loops through each node of the graph, in an arbitrary order, initiating a depth-first search that terminates when it hits any node that has already been visited since the beginning of the topological sort or the node has no outgoing edges (i.e., a leaf node):

  7. Five-number summary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-number_summary

    The five-number summary is a set of descriptive statistics that provides information about a dataset. It consists of the five most important sample percentiles: the sample minimum (smallest observation) the lower quartile or first quartile; the median (the middle value) the upper quartile or third quartile; the sample maximum (largest observation)

  8. First-fit-decreasing bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-fit-decreasing_bin...

    On each: If the two smallest remaining small items do not fit, skip this bin. Otherwise, place the smallest remaining small item and the largest remaining small item that fits. Proceed forward through all bins. If the smallest remaining item of any size class does not fit, skip this bin. Otherwise, place the largest item that fits and stay on ...

  9. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    Unique global maximum over the positive real numbers at x = 1/e. x 3 /3 − x: First derivative x 2 − 1 and second derivative 2x. Setting the first derivative to 0 and solving for x gives stationary points at −1 and +1. From the sign of the second derivative, we can see that −1 is a local maximum and +1 is a local minimum.
