An Intuitive Derivation of Heron's Formula
From elementary geometry we learn that two triangles are congruent if their edges have the same lengths, so it should come as no surprise that the edge lengths of a triangle determine the area of that triangle. On the other hand, the explicit formula for the area of a triangle in terms of its edge lengths, named for Heron of Alexandria (although attributed to Archimedes [4]), seems to be less c...
متن کاملAn Elementary Derivation of Levitov's Formula
The field of quantum noise has been rapidly developing in recent years, with the growing possibilities in precision measurements [1], and interest in mesoscopic systems as well as in technological applications of physical effects at the micrometer and nanometer scales. Of particular interest is the study of the statistics of charge transport between materials coupled through a contact or throug...

N=number of women having triple test; p=prevalence of Down's syndrome; p*N=total number of fetuses with Down's syndrome; DR=detection rate; FPR=false positive rate; p*N*DR*AR=number of women with true positive results who have amniocentesis; (1-p)*N*FPR*AR=number of women with false positive results who have amniocentesis; p*N*DR*AR=number having an abortion (all positive amniocentesis results)...
متن کاملAn alternative derivation of Katsevich's cone-beam reconstruction formula.
In this paper an alternative derivation of Katsevich's cone-beam image reconstruction algorithm is presented. The starting point is the classical Tuy's inversion formula. After (i) using the hidden symmetries of the intermediate functions, (ii) handling the redundant data by weighting them, (iii) changing the weighted average into an integral over the source trajectory parameter, and (iv) impos...
متن کاملAn Independent Derivation of the Oxford Jet Kinetic Luminosity Formula
This letter presents a theoretical derivation of an estimate for a radio source jet kinetic luminosity. The expression yields jet powers that are quantitatively similar to a more sophisticated empirical relation published by the Willott, Blundell and Rawlings at Oxford. The formula allows one to estimate the jet kinetic luminosity from the measurement of the optically thin radio lobe emission i...
