2. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

   The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides ...

3. Three-point estimation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_estimation

   Three-point estimation. The three-point estimation technique is used in management and information systems applications for the construction of an approximate probability distribution representing the outcome of future events, based on very limited information. While the distribution used for the approximation might be a normal distribution ...

4. Point-biserial correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-biserial_correlation...

   Point-biserial correlation coefficient. The point biserial correlation coefficient ( rpb) is a correlation coefficient used when one variable (e.g. Y) is dichotomous; Y can either be "naturally" dichotomous, like whether a coin lands heads or tails, or an artificially dichotomized variable. In most situations it is not advisable to dichotomize ...

   Bounded floating point is a method proposed and patented by Alan Jorgensen. The data structure includes the standard IEEE 754 data structure and interpretation, ...

6. Pointe du Hoc - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointe_du_Hoc

   In World War II, Pointe du Hoc was the location of a series of German bunkers and machine gun posts. Prior to the invasion of Normandy, the German army fortified the area with concrete casemates and gun pits. On D-Day, the United States Army Provisional Ranger Group attacked and captured Pointe du Hoc after scaling the cliffs.

7. Dew point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

   The dew point of a given body of air is the temperature to which it must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. This temperature depends on the pressure and water content of the air. When the air is cooled below the dew point, its moisture capacity is reduced and airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water known as dew. [1]
