  2. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a mathematical sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 3.

  3. 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 .

  4. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    Euclid defines a ratio as between two quantities of the same type, so by this definition the ratios of two lengths or of two areas are defined, but not the ratio of a length and an area. Definition 4 makes this more rigorous. It states that a ratio of two quantities exists, when there is a multiple of each that exceeds the other.

  5. Odds ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds_ratio

    An odds ratio (OR) is a statistic that quantifies the strength of the association between two events, A and B. The odds ratio is defined as the ratio of the odds of event A taking place in the presence of B, and the odds of A in the absence of B. Due to symmetry, odds ratio reciprocally calculates the ratio of the odds of B occurring in the presence of A, and the odds of B in the absence of A.

  6. Special right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    If the sides are formed from the geometric progression a, ar, ar 2 then its common ratio r is given by r = √ φ where φ is the golden ratio. Its sides are therefore in the ratio 1 : √ φ : φ. Thus, the shape of the Kepler triangle is uniquely determined (up to a scale factor) by the requirement that its sides be in geometric progression.

  7. Tier 1 capital ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_capital

    Tier 1 common capital ratio and; Tier 1 total capital ratio; Preferred shares and non-controlling interests are included in the Tier 1 total capital ratio but not the Tier 1 common ratio. [4] As a result, the common ratio will always be less than or equal to the total capital ratio. In the example above, the two ratios are the same.

  8. Aspect ratio (image) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

    The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of its width to its height. It is expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, in the format width:height. Common aspect ratios are 1.85:1 and 2.40:1 in cinematography, 4:3 and 16:9 in television, and 3:2 in still photography

  9. 16:9 aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16:9_aspect_ratio

    Once seen as an "exotic" aspect ratio, [1] since 2009, it has become the most common aspect ratio for televisions and computer monitors, and is also the universal standard image format for the universal 1080p, 2160p and 4320p formats. 16:9 or "sixteen-nine" is the universal widescreen standard format [2] and Wide-aspect Clear-vision.
