  2. 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 ...

  3. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    Engineer using a slide rule, with mechanical calculator in background, mid 20th century. A more modern form of slide rule was created in 1859 by French artillery lieutenant Amédée Mannheim, who was fortunate both in having his rule made by a firm of national reputation, and its adoption by the French Artillery. Mannheim's rule had two major ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

    To the right is the long tail, and to the left are the few that dominate (also known as the 80–20 rule). In statistics, a power law is a functional relationship between two quantities, where a relative change in one quantity results in a relative change in the other quantity proportional to the change raised to a constant exponent: one ...

  6. Power (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(statistics)

    The main application of statistical power is "power analysis", a calculation of power usually done before an experiment is conducted using data from pilot studies or a literature review. Power analyses can be used to calculate the minimum sample size required so that one can be reasonably likely to detect an effect of a given size (in other ...

  8. Fuller calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller_calculator

    The Fuller calculator, sometimes called Fuller's cylindrical slide rule, is a cylindrical slide rule with a helical main scale taking 50 turns around the cylinder. This creates an instrument of considerable precision – it is equivalent to a traditional slide rule 25.40 metres (1,000 inches) long.

  9. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    If exponentiation is indicated by stacked symbols using superscript notation, the usual rule is to work from the top down: [2] [7] a b c = a (b c) which typically is not equal to (a b) c. This convention is useful because there is a property of exponentiation that (a b) c = a bc, so it's unnecessary to use serial exponentiation for this.
