  2. Brahmagupta's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta's_formula

    This more general formula is known as Bretschneider's formula. It is a property of cyclic quadrilaterals (and ultimately of inscribed angles ) that opposite angles of a quadrilateral sum to 180°. Consequently, in the case of an inscribed quadrilateral, θ is 90°, whence the term

  3. Grand Prix motor racing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prix_motor_racing

    A common abbreviation used for Grand Prix racing is "GP" or "GP racing". Grand Prix motor racing eventually evolved into formula racing , with Formula One considered its direct descendant. Each event of the Formula One World Championships is still called a Grand Prix ; Formula One is also referred to as "Grand Prix racing".

  4. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    Diagram illustrating three basic geometric sequences of the pattern 1(r n−1) up to 6 iterations deep.The first block is a unit block and the dashed line represents the infinite sum of the sequence, a number that it will forever approach but never touch: 2, 3/2, and 4/3 respectively.

  5. Formula C (SCCA) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_C_(SCCA)

    Formula C was an open wheeled SCCA racing class originating in the mid-1960s, derived from the failed Formula Junior class. Formula C cars were very similar to Formula Juniors; Formula B was a similar class with uprated 1600 cc engines. Formula C cars were limited to 1100 cc engines. In the SCCA today, Formula Continental is the direct ...

  6. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  7. Distribution waterfall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_waterfall

    The GP usually commits some amount to the fund (the "GP co-investment"), usually 1 to 2% of the commitment. When distributing the capital back to the investor, hopefully with an added value, the general partner will allocate this amount based on a waterfall structure previously agreed in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

  8. Covariant formulation of classical electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant_formulation_of...

    The covariant formulation of classical electromagnetism refers to ways of writing the laws of classical electromagnetism (in particular, Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force) in a form that is manifestly invariant under Lorentz transformations, in the formalism of special relativity using rectilinear inertial coordinate systems.

    He was general counsel of the University of Pennsylvania from 1975 to 1980, joining the professorial ranks of Penn Law in 1979. One of the most influential scholars of federal practice and procedure, [ 2 ] Burbank is the author of definitive works on federal court rule-making, inter-jurisdictional preclusion, litigation sanctions, and judicial ...
