Among ancient sources, the poet Simonides, another near-contemporary, says the campaign force numbered 200, 000 ; while a later writer, the Roman Cornelius Nepos estimates 200, 000 infantry and 10, 000 cavalry, of which only 100, 000 fought in the battle, while the rest were loaded into the fleet that was rounding Cape Sounion ; Plutarch and Pausanias both independently give 300, 000, as does the Suda dictionary.

In Troubridge's case, the German ships had slipped past him and escaped, and it was possible that von Spee might do the same, rounding the Horn and heading for Germany if he did not intervene.

However, this is by no means certain ; de la Roché had been rounding Cape Horn and was blown off course.

In his book, Captain Shelvocke stated that his Second mate, Simon Hatley, shot a black albatross while they were rounding the Cape Horn and this episode in his book served to inspire the central image of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Hank may have been rounding up in Bobby's case since in the eighth episode of that season (" Shins of the Father "), Bobby has a birthday party.

This can result in low quality on-screen output, and the layout may sometimes change if the document is printed on a different printer ( although this problem occurs less frequently with higher resolution printers, as rounding errors are smaller ).

However, due to the cost of maintaining a circulation of low value coins, by business and the mints, Finland and the Netherlands round prices to the nearest five cents ( Swedish rounding ) if paying with cash, while producing only a handful of those coins for collectors, rather than general circulation.

This is true even if, in theory, the SVD cannot be computed by a finite number of operations, so an iterative method with stopping tolerances based on rounding precision must be employed.

For example, it may not always be clear if a number like 1300 is precise to the nearest unit ( and just happens coincidentally to be an exact multiple of a hundred ) or if it is only shown to the nearest hundred due to rounding or uncertainty.

The following rounding convention applies: if the average across the four skills ends in. 25, it is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in. 75, it is rounded up to the next whole band.

This worst-case error is rarely observed in practice, however, because it only occurs if the rounding errors are all in the same direction.

By the same token, the Σ | x < sub > i </ sub >| that appears in above is a worst-case bound that occurs only if all the rounding errors have the same sign ( and are of maximum possible magnitude ).

This arccosine formula above can have large rounding errors if the distance is small ( if the two points are a kilometer apart the cosine of the central angle comes out 0. 99999999 ).

if-tests are not necessary if no rounding is done.

If implemented on a computer with finite precision arithmetics, the results may be incorrect if the point lies very close to that boundary, because of rounding errors.

# In addition, if the District of Columbia shall have cast its electoral votes, or a majority thereof, for the Republican nominee for President of the United States in the last preceding presidential election, it shall be permitted four and one half delegates at large plus the number of delegates at large equal to thirty percent ( 30 %) of the 16 delegates at large allotted to the District of Columbia, rounding any fraction upward.

This change was immediately overturned by his successor John XXIII who reinstated the two-thirds majority if the number of cardinal electors voting is divisible by three, with a rounding up to two-thirds plus one otherwise.

Rather than predictably rounding up or down in a repeating pattern, what if we rounded up or down in a random pattern?

Two times out of ten the result will truncate back to 4 ( if 0. 0 or 0. 1 are added to 4. 8 ) and the rest of the times it will truncate to 5, but each given situation has a random 20 % chance of rounding to 4 or 80 % chance of rounding to 5.

You can decrease a number to ace by dividing the quantity of dice by two, rounding up if it's necessary.

In this case, the matrix X < sup > T </ sup > X has an inverse, but is ill-conditioned so that a given computer algorithm may or may not be able to compute an approximate inverse, and if it does so the resulting computed inverse may be highly sensitive to slight variations in the data ( due to magnified effects of rounding error ) and so may be very inaccurate.

It can be useful in overcoming problems arising from rounding and other computational steps if a carefully designed computer program is not used.

Resampling causes aliasing, both blurring low-frequency components and adding high-frequency noise, causing jaggies, while rounding off computations to fit in finite precision introduces quantization, causing banding ; if fixed by dither, this instead becomes noise.
