  2. Midpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint

    A midsegment (or midline) of a triangle is a line segment that joins the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. It is parallel to the third side and has a length equal to one half of that third side. The medial triangle of a given triangle has vertices at the midpoints of the given triangle's sides, therefore its sides are the three ...

  3. Compa-ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compa-ratio

    A compa-ratio of 1.00 or 100% means that the employee is paid exactly what the industry average pays and is at the midpoint for the salary range. A ratio of 0.75 means that the employee is paid 25% below the industry average and is at the risk of seeking employment with competitors at a higher pay that is perceived equitable.

  4. Runge–Kutta methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge–Kutta_methods

    t. e. In numerical analysis, the Runge–Kutta methods ( English: / ˈrʊŋəˈkʊtɑː / ⓘ RUUNG-ə-KUUT-tah [1]) are a family of implicit and explicit iterative methods, which include the Euler method, used in temporal discretization for the approximate solutions of simultaneous nonlinear equations. [2]

  5. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is projected in a gravitational field, such as from Earth 's surface, and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only.

  6. Great-circle navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_navigation

    For example, to find the midpoint of the path, substitute σ = 1 ⁄ 2 (σ 01 + σ 02); alternatively to find the point a distance d from the starting point, take σ = σ 01 + d/R. Likewise, the vertex, the point on the great circle with greatest latitude, is found by substituting σ = + 1 ⁄ 2 π. It may be convenient to parameterize the ...

  7. Midpoint method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_method

    The midpoint method is a refinement of the Euler method. and is derived in a similar manner. The key to deriving Euler's method is the approximate equality. which is obtained from the slope formula. and keeping in mind that. For the midpoint methods, one replaces (3) with the more accurate.

  8. Price elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

    A good's price elasticity of demand ( , PED) is a measure of how sensitive the quantity demanded is to its price. When the price rises, quantity demanded falls for almost any good ( law of demand ), but it falls more for some than for others. The price elasticity gives the percentage change in quantity demanded when there is a one percent ...

  9. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) [a] is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral : The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function as a trapezoid and calculating its area. It follows that.
