  2. Scale factor (cosmology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(cosmology)

    The scale factor is dimensionless, with counted from the birth of the universe and set to the present age of the universe: 13.799 ± 0.021 Gyr [4] giving the current value of as () or . The evolution of the scale factor is a dynamical question, determined by the equations of general relativity , which are presented in the case of a locally ...

  3. Scale factor (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(computer...

    A scale factor of 1 ⁄ 10 cannot be used here, because scaling 160 by 1 ⁄ 10 gives 16, which is greater than the greatest value that can be stored in this fixed-point format. However, 1 ⁄ 11 will work as a scale factor, because the maximum scaled value, 160 ⁄ 11 = 14. 54, fits within this range. Given this set:

  4. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    Each iteration of the Sierpinski triangle contains triangles related to the next iteration by a scale factor of 1/2. In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling [1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions (isotropically).

    Here the radial position has been decomposed into a time-dependent scale factor, (), and a comoving coordinate, . Inserting this metric into Einstein's field equations relate the evolution of this scale factor to the pressure and energy of the matter in the universe.

  7. Scale parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_parameter

    This scale factor is defined as the theoretical value of the value obtained by dividing the required scale parameter by the asymptotic value of the statistic. Note that the scale factor depends on the distribution in question. For instance, in order to use the median absolute deviation (MAD) to estimate the standard deviation of the normal ...

  8. Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann–Lemaître...

    The radius of a sphere lives in the third dimension: it is not part of the 2 dimensional surface. However, the value of this radius affects distances measure on the two dimensional surface. Similarly the cosmological scale factor is not a distance in our 3 dimensional space, but its value affects the measurement of distances. [7]: 147

  9. Scale (map) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(map)

    A conformal map has an isotropic scale factor. Conversely isotropic scale factors across the map imply a conformal projection. Isotropy of scale implies that small elements are stretched equally in all directions, that is the shape of a small element is preserved. This is the property of orthomorphism (from Greek 'right shape'). The ...
