  2. Computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation

    A computation is any type of arithmetic or non-arithmetic calculation that is well-defined. [1] [2] Common examples of computation are mathematical equation solving and the execution of computer algorithms.

  3. Computational mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_mathematics

    Computational mathematics is the study of the interaction between mathematics and calculations done by a computer. [ 1 ] A large part of computational mathematics consists roughly of using mathematics for allowing and improving computer computation in areas of science and engineering where mathematics are useful.

    3. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a proper subgroup of the second one. > (greater-than sign) 1. Strict inequality between two numbers; means and is read as "greater than". 2. Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.

  5. Lambert W function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_W_function

    In mathematics, the Lambert W function, also called the omega function or product logarithm, [1] is a multivalued function, namely the branches of the converse relation of the function f(w) = we w, where w is any complex number and e w is the exponential function. The function is named after Johann Lambert, who considered a related problem in 1758.

  6. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)

    The number e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that is the base of the natural logarithm and exponential function.It is sometimes called Euler's number, after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, though this can invite confusion with Euler numbers, or with Euler's constant, a different constant typically denoted .

  7. Convolution - Wikipedia

    In other words, at time , compute the area under the function () weighted by the weighting function (). The resulting waveform (not shown here) is the convolution of functions f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} .

  8. Lambda calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus

    Lambda calculus is Turing complete, that is, it is a universal model of computation that can be used to simulate any Turing machine. [3] Its namesake, the Greek letter lambda (λ), is used in lambda expressions and lambda terms to denote binding a variable in a function.

  9. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    Here M(x, y) denotes the arithmetic–geometric mean of x and y. It is obtained by repeatedly calculating the average (x + y)/2 (arithmetic mean) and (geometric mean) of x and y then let those two numbers become the next x and y. The two numbers quickly converge to a common limit which is the value of M(x, y).
