  2. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    The quotients formed by the area of these polygons divided by the square of the circle radius can be made arbitrarily close to π as the number of polygon sides becomes large, proving that the area inside the circle of radius r is πr 2, π being defined as the ratio of the circumference to the diameter (C/d).

  3. Dilation (morphology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_(morphology)

    Dilation (usually represented by ⊕) is one of the basic operations in mathematical morphology. Originally developed for binary images, it has been expanded first to grayscale images, and then to complete lattices. The dilation operation usually uses a structuring element for probing and expanding the shapes contained in the input image.

  7. Scale invariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_invariance

    The technical term for this transformation is a dilatation (also known as dilation). Dilatations can form part of a larger conformal symmetry . In mathematics, scale invariance usually refers to an invariance of individual functions or curves .

  8. Pinwheel tiling - Wikipedia

    Conway noticed that can be divided in five isometric copies of its image by the dilation of factor /. [1] The increasing sequence of triangles which defines Conway's tiling of the plane. A pinwheel tiling: tiles can be grouped in sets of five (thick lines) to form a new pinwheel tiling (up to rescaling)

  9. Machin-like formula - Wikipedia

    The total time is 1.1191 + 0.8672 = 1.9863 The conclusion, based on this particular model, is that equation 6 is slightly faster than equation 5, regardless of the fact that equation 6 has more terms. This result is typical of the general trend.
