  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    In the sign–magnitude representation, also called sign-and-magnitude or signed magnitude, a signed number is represented by the bit pattern corresponding to the sign of the number for the sign bit (often the most significant bit, set to 0 for a positive number and to 1 for a negative number), and the magnitude of the number (or absolute value ...

  4. Negative number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_number

    In mathematics, a negative number is the opposite of a positive real number. [1] Equivalently, a negative number is a real number that is less than zero. Negative numbers are often used to represent the magnitude of a loss or deficiency. A debt that is owed may be thought of as a negative asset.

    The same symbol used for more than one purpose, such as - for negative numbers and subtraction. Once a formula is entered, a formula calculator follows the above rules to produce the final result by automatically: Analysing the formula and breaking it down into its constituent parts, such as operators, numbers and parentheses.

  7. Help:Convert units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Convert_units

    An input unit can be converted to any number of output units—the outputs are specified as a "combination" by separating unit codes with a space (" ") or a plus ("+"). Using a space as a separator does not work if any of the unit codes contains a space.

  8. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8]. A linear congruential generator (LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.

  9. Talk:Negative number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Negative_number

    If I Google "negative number" I get 2,470,000 hits, and all of them are coherently talking about negative numbers. If I Google "minus number" I get 53,100 hits. Even of those, I grow suspicious: out of the top 10 hits, only 4 are actually talking about negative numbers; another 4 are using "minus" as a verb, and the other 2 are incomprehensible.
