  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel graph of the difference between two evaluations of the smallest root of a quadratic: direct evaluation using the quadratic formula (accurate at smaller b) and an approximation for widely spaced roots (accurate for larger b). The difference reaches a minimum at the large dots, and round-off causes squiggles in the curves beyond this minimum.

  3. Floating point operations per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point_operations...

    The encoding scheme stores the sign, the exponent (in base two for Cray and VAX, base two or ten for IEEE floating point formats, and base 16 for IBM Floating Point Architecture) and the significand (number after the radix point). While several similar formats are in use, the most common is ANSI/IEEE Std. 754-1985.

  4. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    Given real numbers x and y, integers m and n and the set of integers, floor and ceiling may be defined by the equations ⌊ ⌋ = {}, ⌈ ⌉ = {}. Since there is exactly one integer in a half-open interval of length one, for any real number x, there are unique integers m and n satisfying the equation

  5. Windows Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Calculator

    A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0. [5]In Windows 3.0, a scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial-based functions, trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic operations, statistical functions such as single variable statistics and linear regression.

  6. 6174 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6174

    Select any four-digit number which has at least two different digits (leading zeros are allowed), Create two new four-digit numbers by arranging the original digits in a.) ascending and b.) descending order (adding leading zeros if necessary). Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. If the result is not 6174, return to step 2 and ...

  7. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating...

    In computing, half precision (sometimes called FP16 or float16) is a binary floating-point computer number format that occupies 16 bits (two bytes in modern computers) in computer memory. It is intended for storage of floating-point values in applications where higher precision is not essential, in particular image processing and neural networks .

  8. Topological sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_sorting

    The canonical application of topological sorting is in scheduling a sequence of jobs or tasks based on their dependencies.The jobs are represented by vertices, and there is an edge from x to y if job x must be completed before job y can be started (for example, when washing clothes, the washing machine must finish before we put the clothes in the dryer).

  9. Graphing calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphing_calculator

    An early graphing calculator was designed in 1921 by electrical engineer Edith Clarke. [1] [2] [3] The calculator was used to solve problems with electrical power line transmission. [4] Casio produced the first commercially available graphing calculator in 1985. Sharp produced its first graphing calculator in 1986, with Hewlett Packard ...
