geometric constant
11geometric progression — noun A sequence in which each term except the first is obtained from the previous by multiplying it by a constant value, known as the common ratio of the geometric progression. See Also: arithmetic progression …
12geometric progression — (also geometric series) noun a sequence of numbers with a constant ratio between each number and the one before (e.g. 1, 3, 9, 27, 81) …
13geometric progression — A sequential pattern of numbers in which the ratio of each number to its predecessor is constant. An example is 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on. Contrast *arithmetic progression …
14geometric progression — /dʒiəˌmɛtrɪk prəˈgrɛʃən/ (say jeeuh.metrik pruh greshuhn) noun a sequence of terms in which the ratio of any term to its predecessor is a constant, as 1, 3, 9, 27, 81 and 243, and 144, 12, 1 and ¹⁄₁₂ …
15Comparison of vector algebra and geometric algebra — Vector algebra and geometric algebra are alternative approaches to providing additional algebraic structures on vector spaces, with geometric interpretations, particularly vector fields in multivariable calculus and applications in mathematical… …
16Khinchin's constant — In number theory, Aleksandr Yakovlevich Khinchin proved that for almost all real numbers x , the infinitely many denominators a i of the continued fraction expansion of x have an astonishing property: their geometric mean is a constant, known as… …
17Arithmetic-geometric mean — In mathematics, the arithmetic geometric mean (AGM) of two positive real numbers x and y is defined as follows:First compute the arithmetic mean of x and y and call it a 1. Next compute the geometric mean of x and y and call it g 1; this is the… …
18Form constant — A form constant is one of several geometric patterns which are recurringly observed during hallucinations and altered states of consciousness. They are also encountered during Lucid Dreaming before the actual dream.HistoryIn 1926, Heinrich Klüver …
19Mathematical constant — A mathematical constant is a special number, usually a real number, that is significantly interesting in some way .[1] Constants arise in many different areas of mathematics, with constants such as e and π occurring in such diverse contexts as… …
20Divergent geometric series — In mathematics, an infinite geometric series of the form is divergent if and only if | r | ≥ 1. Methods for summation of divergent series are sometimes useful, and usually evaluate divergent geometric series to a sum that… …
