To a nonmathematician, having the letter "i" represent a number that does not quite exist and is "imaginary" can be hard to ...

Making life simpler, [nats.fr] settled on a gamma of two, which means taking a bunch of square roots, which isn’t fast on an FPGA. [nats]’s algorithm is pretty neat: it uses a first-stage ...

Then there was root-mean-square (RMS) voltage. For those nice sine waves, you took the peak voltage and divided by the square root of two, 1.414 or so. You know that kid in the front of the class?

Time and space are frequent topics of discussion for cosmologists, especially those studying exotic celestial bodies like ...

\({9}\) is a square number. \(3 \times 3 = 9\) \(3 \times 3\) can also be written as \(3^2\). This is pronounced "\({3}\) squared". \({8}\) is a cube number. The ...

Over 1,200 kilograms of fruit and vegetables deemed unsuitable for supermarkets was given away Saturday and Sunday at an ...

Logarithms and square root are non-elementary operations frequently used in digital signal processing. In this work, implementation and design of an IP-Core to compute square root and multibase ...

Some quadratics cannot be factorised. An alternative method to solve a quadratic equation is to complete the square. To solve an equation of the form \(x^2 + bx + c = 0\) consider the expression ...
