  4. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    It is clearly algebraic since it is the root of an integer polynomial, (x 31) 2 = 2, which is equivalent to x 6 − 2x 31 = 0. This polynomial has no rational roots, since the rational root theorem shows that the only possibilities are ±1, but x 0 is greater than 1. So x 0 is an irrational algebraic number. There are countably many ...

    [1] [2] [3] General strain theory has gained a significant amount of academic attention since being developed in 1992. [4] Robert Agnew's general strain theory is considered to be a solid theory, has accumulated a significant amount of empirical evidence, and has also expanded its primary scope by offering explanations of phenomena outside of ...

    The prevailing model of atomic structure before Rutherford's experiments was devised by J. J. Thomson. [1]: 123 Thomson had discovered the electron through his work on cathode rays [2] and between 1897 and 1904 he developed a model for atoms containing electrons arranged in concentric shells.

  8. Law of large numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

    The algorithm to compute an integral of f(x) on an interval [a,b] is as follows: [3] Simulate uniform random variables X 1, X 2, ..., X n which can be done using a software, and use a random number table that gives U 1, U 2, ..., U n independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables on [0,1]. Then let X i = a+(b - a)U i for i

  9. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 21, which represents 1/2, and 22, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two, e.g. ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 2 3 ⁠. In Unicode, precomposed fraction characters are in the Number Forms block.
