  2. Help:Sortable tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Sortable_tables

    Even when using data-sort-type=number in the column header, text in front of a number in any cell breaks numerical sorting of that cell. Text after a number is not a problem if the sort order of a column is specified by using data-sort-type=number. Leading zeroes are not necessary for numerical sorting of a column.

  3. Help:Displaying a formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula

    The normal way of entering quotation marks in text mode (two back ticks for the left and two apostrophes for the right), such as \text {a ``quoted'' word} will not work correctly. As a workaround, you can use the Unicode left and right quotation mark characters, which are available from the "Symbols" dropdown panel beneath the editor: \text { a ...

    See also: the {{}} template. The #if function selects one of two alternatives based on the truth value of a test string. {{#if: test string | value if true | value if false}} As explained above, a string is considered true if it contains at least one non-whitespace character.

  5. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called "roots", of continuous functions. A zero of a function f is a number x such that f(x) = 0. As, generally, the zeros of a function cannot be computed exactly nor expressed in closed form, root-finding

  6. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    In some mathematical contexts, zero-based numbering can be used without confusion, when ordinal forms have well established meaning with an obvious candidate to come before first; for instance, a zeroth derivative of a function is the function itself, obtained by differentiating zero times. Such usage corresponds to naming an element not ...

  7. Line wrap and word wrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_wrap_and_word_wrap

    A non-paragraph line break, which is a soft return, is inserted using ⇧ Shift+↵ Enter or via the menus, and is provided for cases when the text should start on a new line but none of the other side effects of starting a new paragraph are desired. In text-oriented markup languages, a soft return is typically offered as a markup tag.

  8. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In mathematics, a zero (also sometimes called a root) of a real-, complex-, or generally vector-valued function, is a member of the domain of such that () vanishes at ; that is, the function attains the value of 0 at , or equivalently, is a solution to the equation () =. [1]

  9. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit (leading zeros) are not significant. If a length measurement gives 0.052 km, then 0.052 km = 52 m so 5 and 2 are only significant; the leading zeros appear or disappear, depending on which unit is used, so they are not necessary to indicate the measurement scale.
