  2. Rationalisation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalisation_(mathematics)

    Rationalisation (mathematics) In elementary algebra, root rationalisation is a process by which radicals in the denominator of an algebraic fraction are eliminated. If the denominator is a monomial in some radical, say with k < n, rationalisation consists of multiplying the numerator and the denominator by and replacing by x (this is allowed ...

  3. Napier's bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier's_bones

    Location arithmetic. v. t. e. Napier's bones is a manually-operated calculating device created by John Napier of Merchiston, Scotland for the calculation of products and quotients of numbers. The method was based on lattice multiplication, and also called rabdology, a word invented by Napier. Napier published his version in 1617. [1]

  4. Multiplicative digital root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_digital_root

    In number theory, the multiplicative digital root of a natural number in a given number base is found by multiplying the digits of together, then repeating this operation until only a single-digit remains, which is called the multiplicative digital root of . [1] [2] The multiplicative digital root for the first few positive integers are:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_calculators

    A scientific calculator with more than 240 built-in functions, with 2 lines × 10 digits LCD. The finance-centric programmable calculator from the Voyager series introduced in the 1980s. The longest running product in the HP calculator line, it remains in production. Various models exist, the latest in 2008.

    Properties. convex, isogonal regular, Hanner polytope. In five-dimensional geometry, a 5-cube is a name for a five-dimensional hypercube with 32 vertices, 80 edges, 80 square faces, 40 cubic cells, and 10 tesseract 4-faces . It is represented by Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,3} or {4,3 3 }, constructed as 3 tesseracts, {4,3,3}, around each cubic ridge .

  7. Neo-Riemannian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Riemannian_theory

    Neo-Riemannian theory is a loose collection of ideas present in the writings of music theorists such as David Lewin, Brian Hyer, Richard Cohn, and Henry Klumpenhouwer. What binds these ideas is a central commitment to relating harmonies directly to each other, without necessary reference to a tonic.

  8. Calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculation

    Calculation. A calculation is a deliberate mathematical process that transforms one or more inputs into one or more outputs or results. The term is used in a variety of senses, from the very definite arithmetical calculation of using an algorithm, to the vague heuristics of calculating a strategy in a competition, or calculating the chance of a ...

  9. Cubic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_field

    Adjoining a root of x 3 + x 2 − 2x − 1 to Q yields a cyclic cubic field, and hence a totally real cubic field. It has the smallest discriminant of all totally real cubic fields, namely 49. The field obtained by adjoining to Q a root of x 3 + x 2 − 3x − 1 is an example of a totally real cubic field that is not cyclic. Its discriminant is ...
