  2. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    Others [13] [failed verification] define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides (the inclusive definition [14]), making the parallelogram a special type of trapezoid. The latter definition is consistent with its uses in higher mathematics such as calculus. This article uses the inclusive definition and considers ...

  3. Cache inclusion policy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_Inclusion_Policy

    Figure 1. Inclusive Policy. Consider an example of a two level cache hierarchy where L2 can be inclusive, exclusive or NINE of L1. Consider the case when L2 is inclusive of L1. Suppose there is a processor read request for block X. If the block is found in L1 cache, then the data is read from L1 cache and returned to the processor.

  4. Bracket (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket_(mathematics)

    For example, [] is the smallest subring of C containing all the integers and ; it consists of all numbers of the form +, where m and n are arbitrary integers. Another example: Z [ 1 / 2 ] {\displaystyle \mathbf {Z} [1/2]} is the subring of Q consisting of all rational numbers whose denominator is a power of 2 .

  5. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) [a] is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral: (). The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} as a trapezoid and calculating its area.

  6. Talk:Isosceles trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Isosceles_trapezoid

    The inclusive definition given in the article (and in the quadrilateral article) is the one that is standard in the UK, but I think American mathematicians avoid the exclusive definition for their trapezoids (our trapeziums). It is probably not important enough to argue about.

  7. Romberg's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romberg's_method

    To estimate the area under a curve the trapezoid rule is applied first to one-piece, then two, then four, and so on. One-piece. Note since it starts and ends at zero, this approximation yields zero area. Two-piece Four-piece Eight-piece. After trapezoid rule estimates are obtained, Richardson extrapolation is applied.

  8. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    The first occurrence of the problem of counting the number of derangements is in an early book on games of chance: Essai d'analyse sur les jeux de hazard by P. R. de Montmort (1678 – 1719) and was known as either "Montmort's problem" or by the name he gave it, "problème des rencontres." [10] The problem is also known as the hatcheck problem.

  9. Point location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_location

    A point location query is performed by following a path in this graph, starting from the initial trapezoid, and at each step choosing the replacement trapezoid that contains the query point, until reaching a trapezoid that has not been replaced. The expected depth of a search in this digraph, starting from any query point, is O(log n).
