  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  3. Prime-counting function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime-counting_function

    In mathematics, the prime-counting function is the function counting the number of prime numbers less than or equal to some real number x. [1] [2] It is denoted by π(x) (unrelated to the number π). A symmetric variant seen sometimes is π 0 (x), which is equal to π(x) − 1 ⁄ 2 if x is exactly a prime number, and equal to π(x) otherwise.

  4. Ranking (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking_(statistics)

    Microsoft Excel provides two ranking functions, the Rank.EQ function which assigns competition ranks ("1224") and the Rank.AVG function which assigns fractional ranks ("1 2.5 2.5 4"). The functions have the order argument, [1] which is by default is set to descending, i.e. the largest number will have a rank 1. This is generally uncommon for ...

  5. Percentile rank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile_rank

    Percentile ranks are not on an equal-interval scale; that is, the difference between any two scores is not the same as between any other two scores whose difference in percentile ranks is the same. For example, 50 − 25 = 25 is not the same distance as 60 − 35 = 25 because of the bell-curve shape of the distribution. Some percentile ranks ...

  6. Pivot table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_table

    Column labels are used to apply a filter to one or more columns that have to be shown in the pivot table. For instance if the "Salesperson" field is dragged to this area, then the table constructed will have values from the column "Sales Person", i.e., one will have a number of columns equal to the number of "Salesperson". There will also be ...

    Thus 123.456 is considered an approximation of any real number greater or equal to ⁠ 1234555 / 10000 ⁠ and strictly less than ⁠ 1234565 / 10000 ⁠ (rounding to 3 decimals), or of any real number greater or equal to ⁠ 123456 / 1000 ⁠ and strictly less than ⁠ 123457 / 1000 ⁠ (truncation after the 3. decimal). Digits that suggest a ...

  8. Natural number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number

    It follows from the definition that each natural number is equal to the set of all natural numbers less than it. This definition, can be extended to the von Neumann definition of ordinals for defining all ordinal numbers, including the infinite ones: "each ordinal is the well-ordered set of all smaller ordinals."

  9. Counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting

    Number blocks, which can be used for counting. Counting is the process of determining the number of elements of a finite set of objects; that is, determining the size of a set. . The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the ...
