  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    If division is much more costly than multiplication, it may be preferable to compute the inverse square root instead. Other methods are available to compute the square root digit by digit, or using Taylor series . Rational approximations of square roots may be calculated using continued fraction expansions .

  3. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. All metric prefixes used today are decadic. Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol. The prefix kilo-, for example, may be added to gram to indicate multiplication by one thousand: one kilogram ...

  4. Shifting nth root algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifting_nth_root_algorithm

    n. th root algorithm. The shifting nth root algorithm is an algorithm for extracting the n th root of a positive real number which proceeds iteratively by shifting in n digits of the radicand, starting with the most significant, and produces one digit of the root on each iteration, in a manner similar to long division .

    Drag coefficients in fluids with Reynolds number approximately 10 4 Shapes are depicted with the same projected frontal area. In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: , or ) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.

  6. Natural logarithm of 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm_of_2

    The decimal value of the natural logarithm of 2 (sequence A002162 in the OEIS ) is approximately. The logarithm of 2 in other bases is obtained with the formula. The common logarithm in particular is ( OEIS : A007524 ) The inverse of this number is the binary logarithm of 10: ( OEIS : A020862 ). By the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem, the ...

  7. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    Find the cube root of 456533. The cube root ends in 7. After the last three digits are taken away, 456 remains. 456 is greater than all the cubes up to 7 cubed. The first digit of the cube root is 7. The cube root of 456533 is 77. This process can be extended to find cube roots that are 3 digits long, by using arithmetic modulo 11.

    The new text would read: "In mathematics, a cube root of a number, denoted or x 1/3, is a number a such that a 3 = x. All real numbers have exactly one real cube root and 2 complex roots, and all nonzero complex numbers have 3 distinct complex cube roots." DRE 18:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC) Reply . Sounds good.
