Guess the Formulas: Help Martin Solve His Comp Sci Assignment

[Dantes]

Sup all,

In a comp sci class right now and one of our assignments is make methods for the following formula's. We don't need to know what they are/mean, since we are just make variable scripts that aren't actually solving anything.

But I didn't know what some of them were so I figure asking here might be the best thing.

1. conversion of F degrees to Cel.
2. ?
3. ?
4. Something to do with theory of relativity?
5. ?
6. ?
7. I think it's the interest formula
8. Quadratic
9. Distance
10. No idea
11. Something about gravity I think
12. No clue
13. No clue

Add the ones I don't know if you know them. Correct the ones I have if they wrong

later.

The ones that I'm sure about 6. It is the sum of the terms in a Geometric series 4. gamma in relativity.(you are right)

2. May be a complex function, where z = x + iy
11. Formula in electronics
...these are the ones that I'm unsure of.

 

[Galileo]

10. A sophistication to Stirlings approximation of N!

 

[Dr Transport]

6. the sum over a finite number of terms for a quantity R less than 1.0, multiplied by a scaling factor A
