  4. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    A snippet of C code which prints "Hello, World!". The syntax of the C programming language is the set of rules governing writing of software in C. It is designed to allow for programs that are extremely terse, have a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provide relatively high-level data abstraction.

    Eq.1 can also be evaluated outside the domain [,], and that extended sequence is -periodic.Accordingly, other sequences of indices are sometimes used, such as [,] (if is even) and [,] (if is odd), which amounts to swapping the left and right halves of the result of the transform.

    The first four partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯.The parabola is their smoothed asymptote; its y-intercept is −1/12. [1]The infinite series whose terms ...

  8. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    FEM is a general numerical method for solving partial differential equations in two- or three-space variables (i.e., some boundary value problems). There are also studies about using FEM to solve high-dimensional problems. [1] To solve a problem, FEM subdivides a large system into smaller, simpler parts called finite elements.

  9. Quintic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_function

    Even for the first root that involves at most two square roots, the expression of the solutions in terms of radicals is usually highly complicated. However, when no square root is needed, the form of the first solution may be rather simple, as for the equation x 5 − 5x 4 + 30x 3 − 50x 2 + 55x − 21 = 0, for which the only real solution is
