  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

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

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  3. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    The following list includes the continued fractions of some constants and is sorted by their representations. Continued fractions with more than 20 known terms have been truncated, with an ellipsis to show that they continue. Rational numbers have two continued fractions; the version in this list is the shorter one.

    Functional notation: if the first is the name (symbol) of a function, denotes the value of the function applied to the expression between the parentheses; for example, (), ⁡ (+). In the case of a multivariate function , the parentheses contain several expressions separated by commas, such as f ( x , y ) {\displaystyle f(x,y)} .

  5. Separable space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separable_space

    The space ([,]) of continuous real-valued functions on the unit interval [,] with the metric of uniform convergence is a separable space, since it follows from the Weierstrass approximation theorem that the set [] of polynomials in one variable with rational coefficients is a countable dense subset of ([,]).

    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 ...

    Normally, expressions and formulas do not appear alone, but are included in sentences of the current language, where expressions play the role of noun phrases and formulas play the role of clauses. Mathematics has developed a rich terminology covering a broad range of fields that study the properties of various abstract, idealized objects and ...

    The sets and are separated by a continuous function if there exists a continuous function: from the space to the real line such that () and (), that is, members of map to 0 and members of map to 1. (Sometimes the unit interval [ 0 , 1 ] {\displaystyle [0,1]} is used in place of R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } in this definition, but this makes ...

    A slightly different approach to the geometry of function spaces developed at the same time as von Neumann and Murray's work on the classification of factors. This approach is the theory of C*-algebras. Here, the motivating example is the C*-algebra (), where X is a locally compact Hausdorff topological space.
