The second group requires the procedure be based in an approximating series, i.e., a progressive approximation. This is typically the case for square roots in older texts, but is characteristic especially of Archimedean texts. Here, one has a procedure of approximation, typically by approaching f...
Evaluate the sine of 1 degree using a TI Scientific Calculator and you will get 0.0174524064. Evaluate the above messy expression and you will also get 0.0174524064. Even allowing for calculator rounding errors, we can be confident our answer is correct. List of all sines of integer degrees fro...
Using this equation with one implicit approximation (the dissociation of water) and a simple electronic calculator, we are able to calculate the pH of reaction solution after each addition of titrant. A novel equation derived in this article provides sim-ple and exact calculations of pH in the ...
The original question was: Recently I’ve come across a task to calculate the probability that a run of at least K successes occurs in a series of N (K≤N) Bernoulli trials (weighted coin flips), i.e. “what’s the probability that...
