21Lebesgue constant (interpolation) — For other uses, see: Lebesgue constant. In mathematics, the Lebesgue constants (depending on a set of nodes and of its size) give an idea of how good the interpolant of a function (at the given nodes) is in comparison with the best polynomial… …
22Info-gap decision theory — is a non probabilistic decision theory that seeks to optimize robustness to failure – or opportuneness for windfall – under severe uncertainty,[1][2] in particular applying sensitivity analysis of the stability radius type[3] to perturbations in… …
23Decibel — This article is about the ratio of measures. For sound or acoustic level, see Sound pressure. For other uses, see Decibel (disambiguation). Attenuation chart of an RG 6 Coaxial cable, measured in decibels per 100 feet of cable The decibel (dB) is …
24Propeller — A propeller is essentially a type of fan which transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust for propulsion of a vehicle such as an aircraft, ship, or submarine through a mass such as water or air, by rotating two or more twisted… …
25Floating point — In computing, floating point describes a method of representing real numbers in a way that can support a wide range of values. Numbers are, in general, represented approximately to a fixed number of significant digits and scaled using an exponent …
26Speedometer — [ thumb|300px| An animation of an Aston Martin speedometer, showing how an eddy current speedometer indicates the vehicle s speed.] A speedometer is a device that measures the instantaneous speed of a land vehicle. Now universally fitted to motor …
27Quasi-Monte Carlo methods in finance — High dimensional integrals in hundreds or thousands of variables occur commonly in finance. These integrals have to be computed numerically to within a threshold epsilon. If the integral is of dimension d then in the worst case, where one has a… …
28Climate sensitivity — is a measure of how responsive the temperature of the climate system is to a change in the radiative forcing. It is usually expressed as the temperature change associated with a doubling of the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth s… …
29Digital-to-analog converter — For digital television converter boxes, see digital television adapter. 8 channel digital to analog converter Cirrus Logic CS4382 as used in a soundcard. In electronics, a digital to analog converter (DAC or D to A) is a device that converts a… …
30Division (digital) — Several algorithms exist to perform division in digital designs. These algorithms fall into two main categories: slow division and fast division. Slow division algorithms produce one digit of the final quotient per iteration. Examples of slow… …
