  2. SHA-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2

    SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and first published in 2001. [3] [4] They are built using the Merkle–Damgård construction, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a specialized block cipher.

  3. Tonelli–Shanks algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonelli–Shanks_algorithm

    The Tonelli–Shanks algorithm (referred to by Shanks as the RESSOL algorithm) is used in modular arithmetic to solve for r in a congruence of the form r 2 ≡ n (mod p), where p is a prime: that is, to find a square root of n modulo p.

  4. Muhamed (horse) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhamed_(horse)

    Muhamed was a German horse reportedly able to mentally extract the cube roots of numbers, which he would then tap out with his hooves. Raised in the town of Elberfeld by Karl Krall in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he was one of several supposedly gifted horses, the others being Kluge Hans, Zarif, Amassis, and later Bento, a blind ...

  5. Drag coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient

    Drag coefficients in fluids with Reynolds number approximately 10 4 [1] [2] 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. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The other roots of the equation are obtained either by changing of cube root or, equivalently, by multiplying the cube root by a primitive cube root of unity, that is . This formula for the roots is always correct except when p = q = 0 , with the proviso that if p = 0 , the square root is chosen so that C ≠ 0 .

  7. Rabdology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabdology

    The rods were used to multiply, divide and even find the square roots and cube roots of numbers. The second device was a promptuary (Latin promptuarium meaning storehouse) and consisted of a large set of strips that could multiply multidigit numbers more easily than the bones. In combination with a table of reciprocals, it could also divide ...

  8. Root of unity modulo n - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_unity_modulo_n

    In this case, there are three cube roots of unity (1, 2, and 4). When n = 11 {\displaystyle n=11} however, there is only one cube root of unity, the unit 1 itself. This behavior is quite different from the field of complex numbers where every nonzero number has k k th roots.

  9. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus
