  2. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    Graphs of surface area, A against volume, V of the Platonic solids and a sphere, showing that the surface area decreases for rounder shapes, and the surface-area-to-volume ratio decreases with increasing volume. Their intercepts with the dashed lines show that when the volume increases 8 (2³) times, the surface area increases 4 (2²) times.

  3. Connectivity (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectivity_(graph_theory)

    This graph becomes disconnected when the right-most node in the gray area on the left is removed This graph becomes disconnected when the dashed edge is removed.. In mathematics and computer science, connectivity is one of the basic concepts of graph theory: it asks for the minimum number of elements (nodes or edges) that need to be removed to separate the remaining nodes into two or more ...

  4. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    When consumers increase the quantity demanded at a given price, it is referred to as an increase in demand. Increased demand can be represented on the graph as the curve being shifted to the right. At each price point, a greater quantity is demanded, as from the initial curve D 1 to the new curve D 2.

  5. Elasticity (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(economics)

    Expressing this mathematically, price elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the percentage change in the quantity demanded by the percentage change in the price. [12] If price elasticity of demand is calculated to be less than 1, the good is said to be inelastic.

  6. Omega ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_ratio

    The standard form of the Omega ratio is a non-convex function, but it is possible to optimize a transformed version using linear programming. [4] To begin with, Kapsos et al. show that the Omega ratio of a portfolio is: = ⁡ ⁡ [() +] + If we are interested in maximizing the Omega ratio, then the relevant optimization problem to solve is: ⁡ ⁡ [() +], ⁡ (), =, The objective function is ...

  7. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    The square–cube law was first mentioned in Two New Sciences (1638).. The square–cube law (or cube–square law) is a mathematical principle, applied in a variety of scientific fields, which describes the relationship between the volume and the surface area as a shape's size increases or decreases.

  8. Game theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory

    It was first used to explain the evolution (and stability) of the approximate 1:1 sex ratios. ( Fisher 1930 ) suggested that the 1:1 sex ratios are a result of evolutionary forces acting on individuals who could be seen as trying to maximize their number of grandchildren.

  9. Profit margin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_margin

    Profit margin is calculated with selling price (or revenue) taken as base times 100. It is the percentage of selling price that is turned into profit, whereas "profit percentage" or "markup" is the percentage of cost price that one gets as profit on top of cost price. While selling something one should know what percentage of profit one will ...
