  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. Mathematical fallacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_fallacy

    In mathematics, certain kinds of mistaken proof are often exhibited, and sometimes collected, as illustrations of a concept called mathematical fallacy.There is a distinction between a simple mistake and a mathematical fallacy in a proof, in that a mistake in a proof leads to an invalid proof while in the best-known examples of mathematical fallacies there is some element of concealment or ...

    In addition to sign changes, it is also possible for the method to converge to a point where the limit of the function is zero, even if the function is undefined (or has another value) at that point (for example at x = 0 for the function given by f (x) = abs(x) − x 2 when x0 and by f (0) = 5, starting with the interval [-0.5, 3.0]).

    The predicate calculus goes a step further than the propositional calculus to an "analysis of the inner structure of propositions" [4] It breaks a simple sentence down into two parts (i) its subject (the object (singular or plural) of discourse) and (ii) a predicate (a verb or possibly verb-clause that asserts a quality or attribute of the object(s)).

    is true only if both A and B are false, or both A and B are true. Whether a symbol means a material biconditional or a logical equivalence , depends on the author’s style. x + 5 = y + 2 ⇔ x + 3 = y {\displaystyle x+5=y+2\Leftrightarrow x+3=y}

  8. Cross-validation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-validation_(statistics)

    In 2-fold cross-validation, we randomly shuffle the dataset into two sets d 0 and d 1, so that both sets are equal size (this is usually implemented by shuffling the data array and then splitting it in two). We then train on d 0 and validate on d 1, followed by training on d 1 and validating on d 0.

  9. Boolean data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_data_type

    It has two possible values: True and False, which are special versions of 1 and 0 respectively and behave as such in arithmetic contexts. Also, a numeric value of zero (integer or fractional), the null value ( None ), the empty string, and empty containers (lists, sets , etc.) are considered Boolean false; all other values are considered ...
