  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  3. Functional square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_square_root

    Notations expressing that f is a functional square root of g are f = g [1/2] and f = g 1/2 [citation needed] [dubious – discuss], or rather f = g 1/2 (see Iterated function#Fractional_iterates_and_flows,_and_negative_iterates), although this leaves the usual ambiguity with taking the function to that power in the multiplicative sense, just as f ² = f ∘ f can be misinterpreted as x ↦ f(x)².

  4. Circle packing in a square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing_in_a_square

    Circle packing in a square is a packing problem in recreational mathematics, where the aim is to pack n unit circles into the smallest possible square. Equivalently, the problem is to arrange n points in a unit square aiming to get the greatest minimal separation, d n , between points. [ 1 ]

  5. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    For example, one sphere that is described in Cartesian coordinates with the equation x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = c 2 can be described in spherical coordinates by the simple equation r = c. (In this system—shown here in the mathematics convention—the sphere is adapted as a unit sphere, where the radius is set to unity and then can generally be ignored ...

  6. n-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-sphere

    The octahedral ⁠ ⁠-sphere is a square (without its interior). The octahedral ⁠ 2 {\displaystyle 2} ⁠ -sphere is a regular octahedron ; hence the name. The octahedral ⁠ n {\displaystyle n} ⁠ -sphere is the topological join of ⁠ n + 1 {\displaystyle n+1} ⁠ pairs of isolated points. [ 9 ]

  7. E8 lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E8_lattice

    The E 8 lattice is a discrete subgroup of R 8 of full rank (i.e. it spans all of R 8).It can be given explicitly by the set of points Γ 8 ⊂ R 8 such that . all the coordinates are integers or all the coordinates are half-integers (a mixture of integers and half-integers is not allowed), and

  9. Characteristic length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_length

    [3] Similarly, in the combustion chamber of a rocket engine , the characteristic length L ∗ {\displaystyle L^{*}} is defined as the chamber volume divided by the throat area. [ 4 ] Because the throat of a de Laval nozzle is smaller than the cross section of the combustion chamber, the characteristic length is greater than the physical length ...
