  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_table

    Decision table. Decision tables are a concise visual representation for specifying which actions to perform depending on given conditions. Decision table is the term used for a Control table or State-transition table in the field of Business process modeling; they are usually formatted as the transpose of the way they are formatted in Software ...

  4. Stanford Research Institute Problem Solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Research...

    The Stanford Research Institute Problem Solver, known by its acronym STRIPS, is an automated planner developed by Richard Fikes and Nils Nilsson in 1971 at SRI International. [1] The same name was later used to refer to the formal language of the inputs to this planner. This language is the base for most of the languages for expressing ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_search

    Brute-force search. In computer science, brute-force search or exhaustive search, also known as generate and test, is a very general problem-solving technique and algorithmic paradigm that consists of systematically checking all possible candidates for whether or not each candidate satisfies the problem's statement.

  6. Automated theorem proving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_theorem_proving

    Automated theorem proving. Automated theorem proving (also known as ATP or automated deduction) is a subfield of automated reasoning and mathematical logic dealing with proving mathematical theorems by computer programs. Automated reasoning over mathematical proof was a major motivating factor for the development of computer science.

  7. Iterative method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

    Iterative method. In computational mathematics, an iterative method is a mathematical procedure that uses an initial value to generate a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a class of problems, in which the i -th approximation (called an "iterate") is derived from the previous ones. A specific implementation with termination ...

  8. Satisfiability modulo theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisfiability_modulo_theories

    Appearance. In computer science and mathematical logic, satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) is the problem of determining whether a mathematical formula is satisfiable. It generalizes the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) to more complex formulas involving real numbers, integers, and/or various data structures such as lists, arrays, bit ...
