  2. Yamartino method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamartino_method

    The first pass determines the circular mean of those values, while the second pass determines the variance. This double-pass method requires access to all values. There is also a single-pass method for calculating the standard deviation, but this method is unsuitable for angular data such as wind direction. Trying to calculate angular moments ...

  3. Leibniz formula for π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π

    The formula is a special case of the Euler–Boole summation formula for alternating series, providing yet another example of a convergence acceleration technique that can be applied to the Leibniz series. In 1992, Jonathan Borwein and Mark Limber used the first thousand Euler numbers to calculate π to 5,263 decimal places with the Leibniz ...

  4. Chudnovsky algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chudnovsky_algorithm

    The Chudnovsky algorithm is a fast method for calculating the digits of π, based on Ramanujan's π formulae.Published by the Chudnovsky brothers in 1988, [1] it was used to calculate π to a billion decimal places.

  5. Circular mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mean

    A simple way to calculate the mean of a series of angles (in the interval [0°, 360°)) is to calculate the mean of the cosines and sines of each angle, and obtain the angle by calculating the inverse tangent. Consider the following three angles as an example: 10, 20, and 30 degrees.

  6. Machin-like formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula

    The unit of time is defined such that one step of the pseudo code corresponds to one unit. To execute the loop, in its entirety, requires four units of time. is defined to be four. Note, however, that if is equal to one, then step one can be skipped. The loop only takes three units of time.

  7. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    In computer graphics and real-time rendering, some of the sigmoid functions are used to blend colors or geometry between two values, smoothly and without visible seams or discontinuities. Titration curves between strong acids and strong bases have a sigmoid shape due to the logarithmic nature of the pH scale.

  8. Madhava series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhava_series

    The specific value ⁡ = can be used to calculate the circle constant π, and the arctangent series for 1 is conventionally called Leibniz's series. In recognition of Madhava's priority , in recent literature these series are sometimes called the Madhava–Newton series , [ 4 ] Madhava–Gregory series , [ 5 ] or Madhava–Leibniz series [ 6 ...
