    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_conjoint_measurement

    The theory of conjoint measurement (also known as conjoint measurement or additive conjoint measurement) is a general, formal theory of continuous quantity.It was independently discovered by the French economist Gérard Debreu (1960) and by the American mathematical psychologist R. Duncan Luce and statistician John Tukey (Luce & Tukey 1964).

    It is fundamentally the study of the relationship of variables that depend on each other. Calculus was expanded in the 18th century by Euler with the introduction of the concept of a function and many other results. [40] Presently, "calculus" refers mainly to the elementary part of this theory, and "analysis" is commonly used for advanced parts ...

    Flowchart of using successive subtractions to find the greatest common divisor of number r and s. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm (/ ˈ æ l ɡ ə r ɪ ð əm / ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.

    The illuminance for Daylight (this version) under AM1.5 is given as 109,870 lux (corresponding with the AM1.5 spectrum to 1000.4 W/m 2). AM2~3 AM2 ( z {\displaystyle z} =60°) to AM3 ( z {\displaystyle z} =70°) is a useful range for estimating the overall average performance of solar cells installed at high latitudes such as in northern Europe.

    For example, with z = 1.5 the third approximation yields 0.4167, which is about 0.011 greater than ln(1.5) = 0.405465, and the ninth approximation yields 0.40553, which is only about 0.0001 greater. The n th partial sum can approximate ln( z ) with arbitrary precision, provided the number of summands n is large enough.

    Similarly, one can use a multiple of the basic measurement unit: 8.0 km is equivalent to 8.0 × 10 3 m. It indicates a margin of 0.05 km (50 m). However, reliance on this convention can lead to false precision errors when accepting data from sources that do not obey it. For example, a source reporting a number like 153,753 with precision ...

    [57] [5] [58] [59] The unit's symbol K is a capital letter, [39] per the SI convention to capitalize symbols of units derived from the name of a person. [60] It is common convention to capitalize Kelvin when referring to Lord Kelvin [5] or the Kelvin scale. [61] The unit symbol K is encoded in Unicode at code point U+212A K KELVIN SIGN.
