precision in calculation
1Precision tests of QED — Quantum electrodynamics (QED), a relativistic quantum field theory of electrodynamics, is among the most stringently tested theories in physics.Precision tests of QED consist of measurements of the electromagnetic fine structure constant, α, in… …
2Automatic calculation of particle interaction or decay — The automatic calculation of particle interaction or decay is part of the computational particle physics branch. It refers to computing tools that help calculating the complex particle interactions as studied in high energy physics, astroparticle …
3Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel — As with other spreadsheets, Microsoft Excel works only to limited accuracy because it retains only a certain number of figures to describe numbers (it has limited precision). Excel nominally works with 8 byte numbers by default, a modified 1985… …
4Arbitrary-precision arithmetic — In computer science, arbitrary precision arithmetic indicates that calculations are performed on numbers whose digits of precision are limited only by the available memory of the host system. This contrasts with the faster fixed precision… …
5False precision — (also called overprecision, fake precision, misplaced precision and spurious accuracy) occurs when numerical data are presented in a manner that implies better precision than is actually the case; since precision is a limit to accuracy, this… …
6Mental calculation — comprises arithmetical calculations using only the human brain, with no help from calculators, computers, or pen and paper. People use mental calculation when computing tools are not available, when it is faster than other means of calculation… …
7Astronomical Calculation Institute (University of Heidelberg) — NOTOC The Astronomisches Rechen Institut (Astronomical Calculation Institute) is currently part of the Center of Astronomy of the University of Heidelberg. Formerly, it was a research institute for astrometry and stellar dynamics belonging to the …
8Experimental mathematics — For the mathematical journal of the same name, see Experimental Mathematics (journal) Experimental mathematics is an approach to mathematics in which numerical computation is used to investigate mathematical objects and identify properties and… …
9Nandana — was a fort in eastern flanks of Salt Range in Punjab Pakistan. It was ruled by Hindu Shahi family and Mahmud of Ghazni expelled them from here. It was built on a hilly range and it ruins are present. Anandapala the son of Jayapala of the Hindu… …
10GMP — There are several expansions of the abbreviation GMP: *Airport code for Gimpo International Airport in Seoul, South Korea *Gay Men s Press *Global Marshall Plan *GNU Multi Precision Library, an arbitrary precision numerical calculation… …
