  2. Stream power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_power

    Although many authors had suggested the use of power formulas in sediment transport in the decades preceding Bagnold's work, [2] [3] and in fact Bagnold himself suggested it a decade before putting it into practice in one of his other works, [4] it wasn't until 1966 that R. A. Bagnold tested this theory experimentally to validate whether it would indeed work or not. [1]

    Formulas in the B column multiply values from the A column using relative references, and the formula in B4 uses the SUM() function to find the sum of values in the B1:B3 range. A formula identifies the calculation needed to place the result in the cell it is contained within. A cell containing a formula, therefore, has two display components ...

  4. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    The binomial approximation for the square root, + + /, can be applied for the following expression, + where and are real but .. The mathematical form for the binomial approximation can be recovered by factoring out the large term and recalling that a square root is the same as a power of one half.

  5. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    Laguerre defined the power of a point P with respect to an algebraic curve of degree n to be the sum of the distances from the point to the intersections of a circle through the point with the curve, divided by the nth power of the diameter d. Laguerre showed that this number is independent of the diameter (Laguerre 1905).

  6. Sums of powers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sums_of_powers

    In mathematics and statistics, sums of powers occur in a number of contexts: . Sums of squares arise in many contexts. For example, in geometry, the Pythagorean theorem involves the sum of two squares; in number theory, there are Legendre's three-square theorem and Jacobi's four-square theorem; and in statistics, the analysis of variance involves summing the squares of quantities.

  7. Binomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem

    In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, the power ⁠ (+) ⁠ expands into a polynomial with terms of the form ⁠ ⁠, where the exponents ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠ are nonnegative integers satisfying ⁠ + = ⁠ and the coefficient ⁠ ⁠ of each term is a specific positive integer ...

    The definitions for monopoles are of theoretical interest, although real magnetic dipoles can be described using pole strengths. There are two possible units for monopole strength, Wb (Weber) and A m (Ampere metre). Dimensional analysis shows that magnetic charges relate by q m (Wb) = μ 0 q m (Am).

  9. Power rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rule

    The power rule for differentiation was derived by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, each independently, for rational power functions in the mid 17th century, who both then used it to derive the power rule for integrals as the inverse operation. This mirrors the conventional way the related theorems are presented in modern basic ...
