  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 ...

  3. Page numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_numbering

    Page number in a book. Page numbering is the process of applying a sequence of numbers (or letters, or Roman numerals) to the pages of a book or other document. The number itself, which may appear in various places on the page, can be referred to as a page number or as a folio. [1]

  4. Cell counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_counting

    Hemocytometers and Sedgewick Rafter counting chambers are two types of counting chambers. The hemocytometer has two gridded chambers in its middle, which are covered with a special glass slide when counting. A drop of cell culture is placed in the space between the chamber and the glass cover, filling it via capillary action. [1]

  5. Counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting

    Number blocks, which can be used for counting. Counting is the process of determining the number of elements of a finite set of objects; that is, determining the size of a set. . The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the ...

  6. Count data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_data

    The statistical treatment of count data is distinct from that of binary data, in which the observations can take only two values, usually represented by 0 and 1, and from ordinal data, which may also consist of integers but where the individual values fall on an arbitrary scale and only the relative ranking is important. [example needed]

  7. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    More generally, there are d! possible orders for a given array, one for each permutation of dimensions (with row-major and column-order just 2 special cases), although the lists of stride values are not necessarily permutations of each other, e.g., in the 2-by-3 example above, the strides are (3,1) for row-major and (1,2) for column-major.

  8. Catalan number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_number

    The only Catalan numbers C n that are odd are those for which n = 2 k − 1; all others are even. The only prime Catalan numbers are C 2 = 2 and C 3 = 5. [1] More generally, the multiplicity with which a prime p divides C n can be determined by first expressing n + 1 in base p. For p = 2, the multiplicity is the number

  9. Viable count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viable_count

    Determining the viable cell count is important for calculating dilutions required for the passaging of cells, as well as determining the size and number of flasks needed during growth time. It is also vital when seeding plates for assays, such as the plaque assay , [ 2 ] because the plates need a known number of live replicating cells for the ...
