Latest revision as of 16:08, 24 October 2014
I took seven courses in calculus and linear algebra while attending university. This subject was, by far, my strongest. This category will contain articles pertaining to the subject of mathematics. I will use this category mainly for my easy reference.
Contents
Sub-Categories
CAS and numerical analysis
- wikipedia:GNU Octave — a free computer program for performing numerical computations which is mostly compatible with MATLAB
- Mathomatic — a free, portable, general purpose computer algebra system (CAS)
Misc
Note: Sandbox entry
Al-Khwārizmī's method of solving linear and quadratic equations worked by first reducing the equation to one of six standard forms (where b and c are positive integers)
- squares equal roots (x2 = bx)
- squares equal number (x2 = c)
- roots equal number (bx = c)
- squares and roots equal number (x2 + bx = c)
- squares and number equal roots (x2 + c = bx)
- roots and number equal squares (bx + c = x2)
Cool equations and numbers
- Euler's identity: eiπ + 1 = 0
- 163
- Khinchin's constant, K ~2.685252...
- The Euler-Mascheroni Constant, γ ~0.577215...
- The Monster, |M|=808017424794512875886459904961710757005754368000000000
- The Oddest Prime: 2
- Feigenbaum's constant, δ ~4.669201...
- (pi)^2/6
- 78,557

- The Golden Ratio, φ 1.618...
pi
- pi ~ 8.88/sqrt(8)
- pi ~ (2.22+2.22)/sqrt(2)
- pi ~ 355/113 ~ 22/7
- pi ~ actual length of rivers from source to mouth and their direct length as the crow flies.
- Barbier's Theorem (see: [1])
- The Pi-Search Page — search for sequences of digits in pi
- Pi-Search — search the first four billion binary digits of Pi for a string
Proof that 0.999... is the same as 1
a = 0.999... 10a = 9.999... 10a - a = 9.999... - 0.999... 9a = 9 a = 1
German tank equation
see: Gavyn Davies does the maths: How a statistical formula won the war
(M-1)(S+1)/S
M = maximum serial number, S = sample size
Latitude/longitude into x,y
x=(longitude+127)*16 y=(50-latitude)*20
Arithmetic
- Addition:
addend + augend ---------- = sum
- Subtraction:
minuend - subtrahend -------------- = difference
- Multiplication:
multicand * multiplier -------------- = product
- Division:
dividend / divisor ------------- = quotient
Mental calculation
see: Mental calculation, Vedic_mathematics, Trachtenberg system
- Vertically and crosswise: 46x72
