  2. ISBN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISBN

    The ISBN-10 formula uses the prime modulus 11 which avoids this blind spot, but requires more than the digits 0–9 to express the check digit. Additionally, if the sum of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th digits is tripled then added to the remaining digits (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th), the total will always be divisible by ...

  3. Plus and minus signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_and_minus_signs

    The hyphen-minus symbol (-) is the form of hyphen most commonly used in digital documents. On most keyboards, it is the only character that resembles a minus sign or a dash so it is also used for these. [27] The name hyphen-minus derives from the original ASCII standard, [28] where it was called hyphen–(minus). [29]

  4. False positive rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positive_rate

    The false positive rate is = +. where is the number of false positives, is the number of true negatives and = + is the total number of ground truth negatives.. The level of significance that is used to test each hypothesis is set based on the form of inference (simultaneous inference vs. selective inference) and its supporting criteria (for example FWER or FDR), that were pre-determined by the ...

  5. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    formula of a carboxylate ion. Salts of carboxylic acids are named following the usual cation-then-anion conventions used for ionic compounds in both IUPAC and common nomenclature systems. The name of the carboxylate anion (R−C(=O)O −) is derived from that of the parent acid by replacing the "–oic acid" ending with "–oate" or "carboxylate."

  6. Hyphen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphen

    The hyphen 98 ‐ is a punctuation mark used to join words and to separate syllables of a single word. The use of hyphens is called hyphenation. [1]The hyphen is sometimes confused with dashes (en dash –, em dash — and others), which are wider, or with the minus sign −, which is also wider and usually drawn a little higher to match the crossbar in the plus sign +.

  7. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    Signed number representations. In computing, signed number representations are required to encode negative numbers in binary number systems. In mathematics, negative numbers in any base are represented by prefixing them with a minus sign ("−"). However, in RAM or CPU registers, numbers are represented only as sequences of bits, without extra ...

  8. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    In computing, floating-point arithmetic (FP) is arithmetic that represents subsets of real numbers using an integer with a fixed precision, called the significand, scaled by an integer exponent of a fixed base. Numbers of this form are called floating-point numbers. [1]: 3 [2]: 10 For example, 12.345 is a floating-point number in base ten with ...

  9. Cross-correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-correlation

    In probability and statistics, the term cross-correlations refers to the correlations between the entries of two random vectors and , while the correlations of a random vector are the correlations between the entries of itself, those forming the correlation matrix of . If each of and is a scalar random variable which is realized repeatedly in a ...
