  2. Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator

    By 1970, a calculator could be made using just a few chips of low power consumption, allowing portable models powered from rechargeable batteries. The first handheld calculator was a 1967 prototype called Cal Tech, whose development was led by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in a research project to produce a portable calculator. It could add ...

  3. E6B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E6B

    The mathematical formulas that equate to the results of the flight computer wind calculator are as follows: (desired course is d, ground speed is V g, heading is a, true airspeed is V a, wind direction is w, wind speed is V w. d, a and w are angles. V g, V a and V w are consistent units of speed. is approximated as 355/113 or 22/7)

  4. Itô's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itô's_lemma

    In mathematics, Itô's lemma or Itô's formula (also called the Itô–Doeblin formula, especially in the French literature) is an identity used in Itô calculus to find the differential of a time-dependent function of a stochastic process. It serves as the stochastic calculus counterpart of the chain rule.

  5. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    See for an online calculator. (The Sound Speed vs. Depth graph does not correlate directly to the MacKenzie formula. This is due to the fact that the temperature and salinity varies at different depths. When T and S are held constant, the formula itself is always increasing with depth.)

  6. Standard error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error

    This approximate formula is for moderate to large sample sizes; the reference gives the exact formulas for any sample size, and can be applied to heavily autocorrelated time series like Wall Street stock quotes. Moreover, this formula works for positive and negative ρ alike. [12] See also unbiased estimation of standard deviation for more ...

  7. PRISM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM

    On June 8, 2013, the Director of National Intelligence issued a fact sheet stating that PRISM "is not an undisclosed collection or data mining program," but rather "an internal government computer system" used to facilitate the collection of foreign intelligence information "under court supervision, as authorized by Section 702 of the Foreign ...

  8. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

    View from the Swabian Jura to the Alps. Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length.. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude.

  9. Bolometric correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolometric_correction

    The bolometric correction scale is set by the absolute magnitude of the Sun and an adopted (arbitrary) absolute bolometric magnitude for the Sun.Hence, while the absolute magnitude of the Sun in different filters is a physical and not arbitrary quantity, the absolute bolometric magnitude of the Sun is arbitrary, and so the zero-point of the bolometric correction scale that follows from it.
