  2. Running total - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_total

    A running total or rolling total is the summation of a sequence of numbers which is updated each time a new number is added to the sequence, by adding the value of the new number to the previous running total. Another term for it is partial sum. The purposes of a running total are twofold.

    In the third line, one is subtracted from the sum using Excel. Because the sum has only eleven 1s after the decimal, the true difference when ‘1’ is subtracted is three 0s followed by a string of eleven 1s. However, the difference reported by Excel is three 0s followed by a 15 digit string of thirteen 1s and two

    Formulas in the B column multiply values from the A column using relative references, and the formula in B4 uses the SUM() function to find the sum of values in the B1:B3 range. A formula identifies the calculation needed to place the result in the cell it is contained within. A cell containing a formula, therefore, has two display components ...

    In the second line, the number one is added to the fraction, and again Excel displays only 15 figures. In the third line, one is subtracted from the sum using Excel. Because the sum in the second line has only eleven 1's after the decimal, the difference when 1 is subtracted from this displayed value is three 0's followed by a string of eleven 1's.

  6. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

  7. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    EOT, the time difference between apparent solar time and mean solar time; GHA, the Greenwich Hour Angle of the apparent (actual) Sun; GMHA = Universal Time − Offset, the Greenwich Mean Hour Angle of the mean (fictitious) Sun. Here time and angle are quantities that are related by factors such as: 2 π radians = 360° = 1 day = 24 hours.

  8. Mean time between failures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_time_between_failures

    Mean time between failures (MTBF) describes the expected time between two failures for a repairable system. For example, three identical systems starting to function properly at time 0 are working until all of them fail. The first system fails after 100 hours, the second after 120 hours and the third after 130 hours.

    The running time of LPT is dominated by the sorting, which takes O(n log n) time, where n is the number of inputs. LPT is monotone in the sense that, if one of the input numbers increases, the objective function (the largest sum or the smallest sum of a subset in the output) weakly increases. [2] This is in contrast to Multifit algorithm.
