  2. Volume element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_element

    Consider the linear subspace of the n-dimensional Euclidean space R n that is spanned by a collection of linearly independent vectors , …,. To find the volume element of the subspace, it is useful to know the fact from linear algebra that the volume of the parallelepiped spanned by the is the square root of the determinant of the Gramian matrix of the : (), = ….

  3. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

    For any natural number ⁠ ⁠, an ⁠ ⁠-sphere of radius ⁠ ⁠ is defined as the set of points in ⁠ (+) ⁠-dimensional Euclidean space that are at distance ⁠ ⁠ from some fixed point ⁠ ⁠, where ⁠ ⁠ may be any positive real number and where ⁠ ⁠ may be any point in ⁠ (+) ⁠-dimensional space.

  5. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 5 ⋅ 5, or 5 2 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that =; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1]

  6. Circle packing in a square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing_in_a_square

    Circle packing in a square is a packing problem in recreational mathematics, where the aim is to pack n unit circles into the smallest possible square. Equivalently, the problem is to arrange n points in a unit square aiming to get the greatest minimal separation, d n , between points. [ 1 ]

  7. 3-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere

    The interior of a 3-sphere is a 4-ball. It is called a 3-sphere because topologically, the surface itself is 3-dimensional, even though it is curved into the 4th dimension. For example, when traveling on a 3-sphere, you can go north and south, east and west, or along a 3rd set of cardinal directions. This means that a 3-sphere is an example of ...

  8. E8 lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E8_lattice

    The E 8 lattice is a discrete subgroup of R 8 of full rank (i.e. it spans all of R 8).It can be given explicitly by the set of points Γ 8 ⊂ R 8 such that . all the coordinates are integers or all the coordinates are half-integers (a mixture of integers and half-integers is not allowed), and

  9. Square root of 7 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_7

    The rectangle that bounds an equilateral triangle of side 2, or a regular hexagon of side 1, has size square root of 3 by square root of 4, with a diagonal of square root of 7. A Logarex system Darmstadt slide rule with 7 and 6 on A and B scales, and square roots of 6 and of 7 on C and D scales, which can be read as slightly less than 2.45 and ...
