n. (plural of calculation English)
Usage examples of "calculations".
But the effort has been well worth it: the calculations yield predictions about electrons that have been experimentally verified to an accuracy of better than one part in a billion.
This presents a wonderful challenge and opportunity for string theorists: Can calculations in string theory improve on this mismatch and explain why the cosmological constant is zero, or if experiments do ultimately establish that its value is small but nonzero, can string theory provide an explanation?
When an oven is heated to some chosen temperature, the calculations based on nineteenth-century thermodynamics predicted the common energy that each and every wave would supposedly contribute to the total.
Gambling casinos rely on your inability to ascertain all of this information and to do the necessary calculations prior to placing your bet.
The calculations that lead to the convergence of the force strengths, as well as other considerations studied by a number of physicists, indicate that the superpartner particles must be a good deal heavier than the known particles.
His calculations indicated that the additional circular dimension might be as small as the Planck length, far shorter than experimental accessibility.
For instance, we mentioned earlier that a sign of the grinding incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics in a point-particle framework is that calculations result in infinite probabilities.
Once again, though, carrying through with such calculations requires that we know which Calabi-Yau space to take for the extra dimensions.
Delicate cancellations require precise calculations because even small errors have a profound impact on accuracy.
Since the resulting string physics associated with each member of a mirror pair is identical, you recognize that you are free to do your calculations making use of either.
They showed that calculations of almost unimaginable difficulty could be accomplished by using the mirror perspective, with a few pages of algebra and a desktop computer.
Our calculations yielded bits and pieces of supporting circumstantial evidence, but we could not find definitive proof.
The preliminary calculations Plesser and I had done, together with insightful discussions with David Morrison, a mathematician from Duke University, made it seem that this was the only conclusion that mirror symmetry naturally supported.
But when we sat down to do the required calculations, we found that they were extraordinarily intensive.
He lit up upon hearing the ideas, but cautioned that he thought the calculations would be horrendously difficult.
