  2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    If each subtraction is replaced with addition of the opposite (additive inverse), then the associative and commutative laws of addition allow terms to be added in any order. The radical symbol ⁠ t {\displaystyle {\sqrt {\vphantom {t}}}} ⁠ is traditionally extended by a bar (called vinculum ) over the radicand (this avoids the need for ...

  3. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    Graphs of functions commonly used in the analysis of algorithms, showing the number of operations versus input size for each function. The following tables list the computational complexity of various algorithms for common mathematical operations.

  4. Operation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_(mathematics)

    For instance, one often speaks of "the operation of addition" or "the addition operation," when focusing on the operands and result, but one switch to "addition operator" (rarely "operator of addition"), when focusing on the process, or from the more symbolic viewpoint, the function +: X × X → X (where X is a set such as the set of real ...

  5. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Congruence modulo m is a congruence relation, meaning that it is an equivalence relation that is compatible with the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Congruence modulo m is denoted a ≡ b (mod m). The parentheses mean that (mod m) applies to the entire equation, not just to the right-hand side (here, b).

  6. Carry (arithmetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_(arithmetic)

    The same carry bit is also generally used to indicate borrows in subtraction, though the bit's meaning is inverted due to the effects of two's complement arithmetic. Normally, a carry bit value of "1" signifies that an addition overflowed the ALU, and must be accounted for when adding data words of lengths greater than that of the CPU. For ...

  7. Saturation arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_arithmetic

    Saturation arithmetic is a version of arithmetic in which all operations, such as addition and multiplication, are limited to a fixed range between a minimum and maximum value. If the result of an operation is greater than the maximum, it is set ("clamped") to the maximum; if it is below the minimum, it is clamped to the minimum. The name comes ...

  8. Elliptic curve point multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_point...

    Example: 100P can be written as 2(2[P + 2(2[2(P + 2P)])]) and thus requires six point double operations and two point addition operations. 100P would be equal to f(P, 100). This algorithm requires log 2 (d) iterations of point doubling and addition to compute the full point multiplication. There are many variations of this algorithm such as ...

  9. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

    For example, subtraction is the inverse of addition since a number returns to its original value if a second number is first added and subsequently subtracted, as in + =. Defined more formally, the operation " ⋆ {\displaystyle \star } " is an inverse of the operation " ∘ {\displaystyle \circ } " if it fulfills the following condition: t ⋆ ...
