... The shift calculated in the range gate due to 0.3433s was calculated as 687m . For the Patriot missile defense system, the target is considered out of range if the shift was going to more than 137m . Q: What is truncation error? A: Truncation error is defined as the error caused by truncating a math ...

... 16. An instructor gave a test consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions. She considered two options for converting the students’ score to a 100 point scale. The first option was to use the percentage 100 raw score correct; in other words, converted score = . The second option was to double the ...

Maths - Progression in Multiplication
... Children will be familiar with counting in 2s, 3s, 5s, 10s, using counters, numbers lines or a counting stick. They will be aware that they need to learn these patterns and may have already begun to gain instant recall of some of the multiplication tables. (e.g. Two times table, Five times table and ...

Number Theory: GCD and the Extended Euclidean Algorithm
... Take for example the problem of finding the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two numbers. It has many applications, the least of which is to print a fraction in reduced form (ex. 2/3 instead of 4/6). The solution is the famous Euclidean algorithm, which is simple to write, and unbelievably efficient ...

Approximations of π
Approximations for the mathematical constant pi (π) in the history of mathematics reached an accuracy within 0.04% of the true value before the beginning of the Common Era (Archimedes). In Chinese mathematics, this was improved to approximations correct to what corresponds to about seven decimal digits by the 5th century.Further progress was made only from the 15th century (Jamshīd al-Kāshī), and early modern mathematicians reached an accuracy of 35 digits by the 18th century (Ludolph van Ceulen), and 126 digits by the 19th century (Jurij Vega), surpassing the accuracy required for any conceivable application outside of pure mathematics.The record of manual approximation of π is held by William Shanks, who calculated 527 digits correctly in the years preceding 1873. Since the mid 20th century, approximation of π has been the task of electronic digital computers; the current record (as of May 2015) is at 13.3 trillion digits, calculated in October 2014.
