  2. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    Examples of a geometric sequence are powers r k of a fixed non-zero number r, such as 2 k and 3 k. The general form of a geometric sequence is , , , , , … where r is the common ratio and a is the initial value. The sum of a geometric progression's terms is called a geometric series.

  3. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  4. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    In general, these series with =, =, =, and = give the expectations of "the number of trials until first success" in Bernoulli processes with "success probability" . The probabilities of each outcome follow a geometric distribution and provide the geometric sequence factors in the terms of the series, while the number of trials per outcome ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

    where is the number of terms in the progression and is the common difference between terms. The formula is essentially the same as the formula for the standard deviation of a discrete uniform distribution , interpreting the arithmetic progression as a set of equally probable outcomes.

  7. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gc_(engineering)

    In engineering and physics, g c is a unit conversion factor used to convert mass to force or vice versa. [1] It is defined as = In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1.

  8. Generalized Stokes theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Stokes_theorem

    A (smooth) singular k-simplex in M is defined as a smooth map from the standard simplex in R k to M. The group C k (M, Z) of singular k-chains on M is defined to be the free abelian group on the set of singular k-simplices in M. These groups, together with the boundary map, ∂, define a chain complex.

  9. Geometrized unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrized_unit_system

    A geometrized unit system [1] or geometrodynamic unit system is a system of natural units in which the base physical units are chosen so that the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the gravitational constant, G, are set equal to unity. = = The geometrized unit system is not a completely defined system.
