Sacrifice bunts ( sacrifice hits since 1954 ), which would lower a batter's on-base percentage, are not included in the calculation for on-base percentage, as bunting is an offensive strategy – often dictated by the manager – the use of which does not necessarily reflect on the batter's ability and should not be used to penalize him.

Weber's preoccupation with the importance of economic calculation led him to develop a critique of socialism as a system that lacked a mechanism for allocating resources efficiently in order to satisfy human needs.

Bede placed his description of the event centrally in his narrative, and he has been recognised as overemphasizing the historical significance of the synod because Easter calculation was of special interest to him, and also because he wished to stress the unity of the English Church.

: After my father's appointment by his homeland as state official in the customs house of Bugia for the Pisan merchants who thronged to it, he took charge ; and in view of its future usefulness and convenience, had me in my boyhood come to him and there wanted me to devote myself to and be instructed in the study of calculation for some days.

His calculation, however, did not take into account the relief army Austria managed to field against him at the Battle of Kolin.

The theta function was used by Jacobi to construct ( in a form adapted to easy calculation ) his elliptic functions as the quotients of the above four theta functions, and could have been used by him to construct Weierstrass's elliptic functions also, since

In the Fox television show Malcolm in the Middle, Malcolm Wilkerson displays astounding feats of automatic mental calculation, which causes him to fear his family will see him as a " freak ," and causes his brother to ask, " Is Malcolm a robot?

He first co-drove with Guy Chasseuil in 1966 and his talent for calculation, strategy and organisation quickly made him a sought-after navigator.

Laplace knew this well, and himself wrote to conclude the sunrise example: “ But this number is far greater for him who, seeing in the totality of phenomena the principle regulating the days and seasons, realises that nothing at the present moment can arrest the course of it .” Yet Laplace was ridiculed for this calculation ; his opponents gave no heed to that sentence, or failed to understand its importance.

The inscription marking his burial place in the monastery of Saint-Mathurin in Paris described him as a computist, one who was an expert on the calculation of Easter.

He describes the numerous challenges presented by navigation, storms, fuel calculation, boredom, and lack of sleep during the course of the flight that would take him over 3, 600 miles from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York to Le Bourget field in Paris.

He could understand the growing problems of a state, and the approaching overthrow of a monarchy, but rest content with the calculation, that the means and appliances of pomp and indulgence were safe for his life at least, and that after him might come the deluge.

Pliny the Elder ( 23 AD-79 AD ) wrote “ It is beyond calculation how great is the debt owed to the Romans, who swept away the monstrous rites, in which to kill a man was the highest religious duty and for him to be eaten a passport to health .”

The Engset calculation is a related formula, named after its developer, T. O. Engset, used to determine the probability of congestion occurring within a telephony circuit group.

The new calculation requires that conjunction occur before sunset in Mecca, Saudi Arabia and that moon set on the following day must take place after sunset.

A calculation of this form dictates that a two rotor Wankel displacing 654 cc per face will have a displacement of 1. 3 liters per every rotation of the eccentric shaft ( only two total faces, one face per rotor going through a full power stroke ) and 2. 6 liters after two revolutions ( four total faces, two faces per rotor going through a full power stroke ).

For simplicity we neglect the neutrino ( neutrino accounting requires an exact calculation of all stages of the reaction, and the loss of neutrino energy make up only about one percent ), and annihilate the positrons with 2 electrons from hydrogen atoms remaining after the removal of these protons.

So a program that calculates the factorial of an input number would have postconditions that the result after the calculation be an integer and that it be greater than or equal to 1.

According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Harold Harefoot ruled for four years and 16 weeks, by which calculation he would have begun ruling two weeks after the death of Cnut.

This is useful so that the problem can be checked for once at the end of a long calculation rather than after each step.

Annales Cambriae entries after 525 appear to have been transcribed from contemporary tables for the calculation of Easter ; entries before 525 are much less reliable.

Conversely, the remarkably accurate calculation of the earth's circumference by Eratosthenes, and the invention of a steam engine by Heron, both ascribed in chapter 60 to the priest Menes, historically occurred in Alexandrian Egypt, centuries after the period of the novel.

It may incorporate various devices, such as filling in one's territory after the game, or shifting stones on the board into patterns, which allow quicker calculation of the difference in scores.

Most people can master simpler celestial navigation procedures after a day or two of instruction and practice, even using manual calculation methods.

If, instead, the hypothesis was specified after some of the data were examined, and specifically tuned to match the direction in which the early data appeared to point, the calculation would overestimate statistical significance.

Although it has also been translated as " The Book of the Abacus ", writes that this is an error: the intent of the book is to describe methods of doing calculations without aid of an abacus, and as confirms, for centuries after its publication the algorismists ( followers of the style of calculation demonstrated in Liber Abaci ) remained in conflict with the abacists ( traditionalists who continued to use the abacus in conjunction with Roman numerals ).

And changing this calculation would take multiple breakthroughs – which study after study has predicted will take decades, if they arrive at all.

In the years after the event, Kerensky described the affair as a right wing conspiracy that "... developed slowly, systematically, with cool calculation of all the factors involved affecting its possible success or failure.

Two long papers published in 1840 — one on attractions and Clairaut's theorem, and the other on the variation of gravity at the surface of the earth — also demand notice, as do his mathematical memoirs on the critical values of sums of periodic series ( 1847 ) and on the numerical calculation of a class of definite integrals and infinite series ( 1850 ) and his discussion of a differential equation relating to the breaking of railway bridges ( 1849 ), research related to his evidence given to the Royal Commission on the Use of Iron in Railway structures after the Dee bridge disaster of 1847.
