  2. Machin-like formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula

    Machin-like formulas for π can be constructed by finding a set of integers , =, where all the prime factorisations of ⁠ + ⁠, taken together, use a number of distinct primes , and then using either linear algebra or the LLL basis-reduction algorithm to construct linear combinations of arctangents of . For example, in the Størmer formula ...

    Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. That number is rounded to 3.14, which is why Pi Day is celebrated on March 14. NASA wants students to solve its Pi Day Challenge

  6. Direct simulation Monte Carlo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_simulation_Monte_Carlo

    Molecules are moved through a simulation of physical space in a realistic manner that is directly coupled to physical time such that unsteady flow characteristics can be modeled. Intermolecular collisions and molecule-surface collisions are calculated using probabilistic, phenomenological models. Common molecular models include the hard sphere ...

    FreeFlyer has been used to support many spacecraft missions, for mission planning analysis, operational analysis, or both. Specific mission examples include the International Space Station (ISS), [7] the JSpOC Mission System, [8] the Earth Observing System, [9] [10] Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), [11] and Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS).

  8. The Power of 10: Rules for Developing Safety-Critical Code

    Use a minimum of two runtime assertions per function. Restrict the scope of data to the smallest possible. Check the return value of all non-void functions, or cast to void to indicate the return value is useless. Use the preprocessor sparingly. Limit pointer use to a single dereference, and do not use function pointers.

  9. HAL/S - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL/S

    It has been used in many U.S. space projects since 1973 and its most significant use was in the Space Shuttle program (approximately 85% of the Shuttle software was coded in HAL/S). [3] It was designed by Intermetrics in 1972 for NASA and delivered in 1973. HAL/S is written in XPL, a dialect of PL/I. [4]
