  2. Galileo's law of odd numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_law_of_odd_numbers

    In classical mechanics and kinematics, Galileo's law of odd numbers states that the distance covered by a falling object in successive equal time intervals is linearly proportional to the odd numbers. That is, if a body falling from rest covers a certain distance during an arbitrary time interval, it will cover 3, 5, 7, etc. times that distance ...

    Simpson's rules are a set of rules used in ship stability and naval architecture, to calculate the areas and volumes of irregular figures. [1] This is an application of Simpson's rule for finding the values of an integral, here interpreted as the area under a curve.

  5. Fisher–Yates shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    Tracing successive positions as just mentioned, there is no difference between π and σ until arriving at position k. But then, under π the element originally at position k is moved to the final position rather than to position l, and the element originally at the final position is moved to position l.

    The construction may be repeated in order to find successive positions of the primary wavefront, and successive points on the ray. The ray direction given by this construction is the radial direction of the secondary wavefront, [ 15 ] and may differ from the normal of the secondary wavefront (cf. Fig. 2 ), and therefore from the normal of the ...

  7. Six nines in pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_nines_in_pi

    A sequence of six consecutive nines occurs in the decimal representation of the number pi (π), starting at the 762nd decimal place. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It has become famous because of the mathematical coincidence , and because of the idea that one could memorize the digits of π up to that point, and then suggest that π is rational .

    The designation "L/56" means the barrel is 56 times 88 mm - about 4.9 m (16 ft 1 in). The longer the tube is in relation to its bore, the higher the muzzle velocity it can generate on fixed charge. A longer gun barrel allows the expanding gas from the shell's charge to act on the projectile longer than a short barrel, imparting it more velocity ...
