  2. Primitive polynomial (field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_polynomial...

    Although the Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator does not use a trinomial, it does take advantage of this. Richard Brent has been tabulating primitive trinomials of this form, such as x 74207281 + x 30684570 + 1. [5] [6] This can be used to create a pseudo-random number generator of the huge period 2 74207281 − 1 ≈ 3 × 10 22 ...

  3. Pascal's pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_pyramid

    Pascal's pyramid is the three-dimensional analog of the two-dimensional Pascal's triangle, which contains the binomial numbers and relates to the binomial expansion and the binomial distribution. The binomial and trinomial numbers, coefficients, expansions, and distributions are subsets of the multinomial constructs with the same names.

  4. Trinomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial_expansion

    Trinomial expansion. In mathematics, a trinomial expansion is the expansion of a power of a sum of three terms into monomials. The expansion is given by. where n is a nonnegative integer and the sum is taken over all combinations of nonnegative indices i, j, and k such that i + j + k = n. [1] The trinomial coefficients are given by.

  5. Multinomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinomial_distribution

    Multinomial distribution. hide. In probability theory, the multinomial distribution is a generalization of the binomial distribution. For example, it models the probability of counts for each side of a k -sided dice rolled n times. For n independent trials each of which leads to a success for exactly one of k categories, with each category ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk

    Five eight-step random walks from a central point. Some paths appear shorter than eight steps where the route has doubled back on itself. (animated version)In mathematics, a random walk, sometimes known as a drunkard's walk, is a stochastic process that describes a path that consists of a succession of random steps on some mathematical space.

  7. Trinomial - Wikipedia

    For instance, the polynomial x 2 + 3x + 2 is an example of this type of trinomial with n = 1. The solution a 1 = −2 and a 2 = −1 of the above system gives the trinomial factorization: x 2 + 3x + 2 = (x + a 1)(x + a 2) = (x + 2)(x + 1). The same result can be provided by Ruffini's rule, but with a more complex and time-consuming process.

  8. Multinomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinomial_theorem

    Multinomial theorem. In mathematics, the multinomial theorem describes how to expand a power of a sum in terms of powers of the terms in that sum. It is the generalization of the binomial theorem from binomials to multinomials.

  9. Wichmann–Hill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichmann–Hill

    Wichmann–Hill is a pseudorandom number generator proposed in 1982 by Brian Wichmann and David Hill. [1] It consists of three linear congruential generators with different prime moduli, each of which is used to produce a uniformly distributed number between 0 and 1. These are summed, modulo 1, to produce the result. [2]
