  2. Cantor's diagonal argument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor's_diagonal_argument

    The example mapping f happens to correspond to the example enumeration s in the picture above. A generalized form of the diagonal argument was used by Cantor to prove Cantor's theorem: for every set S, the power set of S—that is, the set of all subsets of S (here written as P(S))—cannot be in bijection with S itself. This proof proceeds as ...

  3. Metrication opposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_opposition

    Metrication opponents argue that this allows for easily listing amounts that are awkward in metric (e.g. 1 liquid pint = 568.3 mL in the UK and 473 mL in the US) but are commonly used and avoids "excessive" use of decimals and fractions. These problems however would disappear if metrication continues and they cease to become as common, replaced ...

    In the example below, the divisor is 101 2, or 5 in decimal, while the dividend is 11011 2, or 27 in decimal. The procedure is the same as that of decimal long division ; here, the divisor 101 2 goes into the first three digits 110 2 of the dividend one time, so a "1" is written on the top line.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    For example, the decimal numbers 0.1 and 0.01 cannot be represented exactly as binary floating-point numbers. In the IEEE 754 binary32 format with its 24-bit significand, the result of attempting to square the approximation to 0.1 is neither 0.01 nor the representable number closest to it.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_metric_system

    Units in everyday use by country as of 2019 The history of the metric system began during the Age of Enlightenment with measures of length and weight derived from nature, along with their decimal multiples and fractions. The system became the standard of France and Europe within half a century. Other measures with unity ratios [Note 1] were added, and the system went on to be adopted across ...

  7. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    In mathematics, the logarithm of a number is the exponent by which another fixed value, the base, must be raised to produce that number.For example, the logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3, because 1000 is 10 to the 3 rd power: 1000 = 10 3 = 10 × 10 × 10.
