  2. Polynomial evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_evaluation

    Horner's method evaluates a polynomial using repeated bracketing: + + + + + = + (+ (+ (+ + (+)))). This method reduces the number of multiplications and additions to just Horner's method is so common that a computer instruction "multiply–accumulate operation" has been added to many computer processors, which allow doing the addition and multiplication operations in one combined step.

  3. Evaluation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_function

    An evaluation function, also known as a heuristic evaluation function or static evaluation function, is a function used by game-playing computer programs to estimate the value or goodness of a position (usually at a leaf or terminal node) in a game tree. [1]

  4. Quantile function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile_function

    Quantile functions are used in both statistical applications and Monte Carlo methods. The quantile function is one way of prescribing a probability distribution, and it is an alternative to the probability density function (pdf) or probability mass function, the cumulative distribution function (cdf) and the characteristic function.

  5. Gauss–Legendre quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Legendre_quadrature

    Gauss–Legendre quadrature is optimal in a very narrow sense for computing integrals of a function f over [−1, 1], since no other quadrature rule integrates all degree 2n − 1 polynomials exactly when using n sample points. However, this measure of accuracy is not generally a very useful one---polynomials are very simple to integrate and ...

    Plot of the hypergeometric function 2F1(a,b; c; z) with a=2 and b=3 and c=4 in the complex plane from -2-2i to 2+2i with colors created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D In mathematics , the Gaussian or ordinary hypergeometric function 2 F 1 ( a , b ; c ; z ) is a special function represented by the hypergeometric series , that ...

  8. Fubini's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fubini's_theorem

    If f is the characteristic function of the diagonal of X×Y, then integrating f along X gives the 0 function on Y, but integrating f along Y gives the function 1 on X. So, the two iterated integrals are different. This shows that Tonelli's theorem can fail for spaces that are not σ-finite no matter which product measure is chosen.

  9. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    The exponent is 1101 in binary. There are four binary digits, so the loop executes four times, with values a 0 = 1, a 1 = 0, a 2 = 1, and a 3 = 1. First, initialize the result to 1 and preserve the value of b in the variable x: (=).
