  2. Television standards conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_standards...

    Converting video between different numbers of lines, frame rates, and color models in video pictures is a complex technical problem. However, the international exchange of television programming makes standards conversion necessary so that video may be viewed in another nation with a differing standard.

  3. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form, since to do so would require writing out an inconveniently long string of digits. It may be referred to as scientific form or standard index form, or standard form in the United Kingdom.

  4. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...

  5. Standard form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_form

    Standard form may refer to a way of writing very large or very small numbers by comparing the powers of ten. It is also known as Scientific notation. Numbers in standard form are written in this format: a×10 n Where a is a number 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer. ln mathematics and science Canonical form

  6. Engineering notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation

    Engineering notation or engineering form (also technical notation) is a version of scientific notation in which the exponent of ten is always selected to be divisible by three to match the common metric prefixes, i.e. scientific notation that aligns with powers of a thousand, for example, 531×10 3 instead of 5.31×10 5 (but on calculator displays written without the ×10 to save space).

  7. Normalized number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_number

    Simply speaking, a number is normalized when it is written in the form of a × 10 n where 1 ≤ |a| < 10 without leading zeros in a. This is the standard form of scientific notation . An alternative style is to have the first non-zero digit after the decimal point.

  8. Canonical form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_form

    In mathematics and computer science, a canonical, normal, or standard form of a mathematical object is a standard way of presenting that object as a mathematical expression. Often, it is one which provides the simplest representation of an object and allows it to be identified in a unique way.

  9. Data conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_conversion

    Data conversion is the conversion of computer data from one format to another. Throughout a computer environment, data is encoded in a variety of ways. For example, computer hardware is built on the basis of certain standards, which requires that data contains, for example, parity bit checks.
