    So a fixed-point scheme might use a string of 8 decimal digits with the decimal point in the middle, whereby "00012345" would represent 0001.2345. In scientific notation, the given number is scaled by a power of 10, so that it lies within a specific range—typically between 1 and 10, with the radix point appearing immediately after the first ...

  3. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    In chemistry the negative of the decimal logarithm, the decimal cologarithm, is indicated by the letter p. [63] For instance, pH is the decimal cologarithm of the activity of hydronium ions (the form hydrogen ions H + take in water). [64] The activity of hydronium ions in neutral water is 10 −7 mol·L −1, hence a pH of 7. Vinegar typically ...

    Calculations were performed in base 2 (binary), then the result was converted to base 10 (decimal). The calculation, conversion, and verification steps took a total of 131 days. [41] In August 2010, Shigeru Kondo used Alexander Yee's y-cruncher to calculate 5 trillion digits of π.

  5. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    The last step in calculating the Betz efficiency C p is to divide the calculated power extracted from the flow by a reference power. As its reference power, the Betz analysis uses the power of air upstream moving at V 1 through the cross-sectional area S of the rotor.

    The multiplication by 100 is to convert from a decimal number (0.000871) to a percentage (0.0871%). Percent comes from the Latin per centum, i.e. 'for every hundred', so the percentage sign represents an implied division by 100. The multiplication by 100 is necessary to convert the raw number into "units" of percentage.

    The figure shows that 8 can be decomposed into 5 (the number of ways to climb 4 steps, followed by a single-step) plus 3 (the number of ways to climb 3 steps, followed by a double-step). The same reasoning is applied recursively until a single step, of which there is only one way to climb.

    The steps to compute duration are the following: 1. Estimate the bond value The coupons will be $50 in years 1, 2, 3 and 4. Then, on year 5, the bond will pay coupon and principal, for a total of $1050. Discounting to present value at 6.5%, the bond value is $937.66. The detail is the following: Year 1: $50 / (1 + 6.5%) ^ 1 = 46.95
