18:5518:55, 22 February 2025 diff hist +43,765 N Linear congruential generator →m prime, c = 0: Add archive-url to dead link. Add Schrage's original paper. Note slowness of division with remainder. current

14:4814:48, 29 January 2025 diff hist +27,488 N Kahan summation algorithm →Further enhancements: In Klein summation, move declarations of c and cc into the loop to make clear they're not loop-carried. The description of Neumaier's algorithm *really* needs to explain significance of the other difference, which is that c is not added to sum inside the loop, but only once at the end. Requires more thought than I have tine to give right now :-( current

03:1303:13, 20 January 2025 diff hist +2,985 N Maier's theorem Italicize greek variable names (π, λ) in text. Mention Helmut Maier in lead, as is cinventional for WP articles about things names after people. current

17:1517:15, 19 January 2025 diff hist +17,833 N Pafnuty Chebyshev →Mathematical contributions: Dont use same letter 'a' for two different things. Rewrite using d = kσ current

01:3901:39, 10 January 2025 diff hist +59,005 N Computation of cyclic redundancy checks →State-space transformation: Add another ref. Copy-editing various things I overlooked before. current

00:5200:52, 9 January 2025 diff hist +12,231 N Companion matrix Wikilink "see below" current

05:2805:28, 7 January 2025 diff hist +17,982 N Vibrating structure gyroscope Tweak lead: "a gyroscope that uses a vibrating (as opposed to rotating) structure as its orientation reference." Yes, they're only suitable for rate (not absolute orientation) applications, but the point is that the plane of vibration is an orientation reference relative to which rotation is measured. rm MOS:PEACOCK word "breakthrough" current

16:3616:36, 30 December 2024 diff hist +25,192 N Lucas pseudoprime →Implementing a Lucas probable prime test: Integrate computation of Q^k better into the explanation; this reduces the number of special-case explanations. Try to avoid addressing footnotes in the main text: use "X is true[footnote:section]" rather than "X is shown in [section] of [footnote]. MOS:NOTE cleanups. current

22:0322:03, 28 December 2024 diff hist +21,389 N Lucas sequence →Other relations: Reorder the index-sum and index-doubling relations to something more sensible. Now the index-doubling relations are listed after the corresponding index-sum relations, and the similar ones for U and V are adjacent. current
01:1601:16, 28 December 2024 diff hist +15,207 N Frobenius pseudoprime →Frobenius pseudoprimes w.r.t. quadratic polynomials: Use dashes appropriateply in place of hyphens. current
01:0701:07, 28 December 2024 diff hist +2,819 N Lehmer sequence (Very) explicitly explain relationship between Lehmer and Lucas sequences. current

20:2920:29, 26 December 2024 diff hist +8,775 N William Brouncker, 2nd Viscount Brouncker →Biography: Give exact date of and more accurate quotation from Pepys. current

11:0111:01, 2 December 2024 diff hist +10,777 N Euclid–Euler theorem →History: Add ISBN to book reference current

08:4308:43, 28 November 2024 diff hist +6,491 N Catenoid →Helicoid transformation: Adjusted anomation caption to point out that it's transforming between left- and right-handed helicoids. Swapped halves of parameterization to make similar parts line up better. (was a + b // -a + b; is now b + a // b - a) current

17:2217:22, 19 November 2024 diff hist +36,812 N Multiply-with-carry pseudorandom number generator →References: Fix a {{cite journal}} that should be a {{cite web}}; the lack of a |journal= parameter was causing errors. current

15:2415:24, 17 November 2024 diff hist +8,396 N Innermost stable circular orbit →Rotating black holes: Jefremov et al. reference: that's an article-number, not a page number. current

03:3703:37, 9 November 2024 diff hist +5,386 N Lai–Massey scheme Compare to and distinguish from Feistel network right at the start of the lead, since this is an alternative to the Feistel construction. current

15:0215:02, 4 November 2024 diff hist +1,206 N Theta function (disambiguation) →Other functions: Gave one-line definition of Chebyshev function. current

20:1420:14, 28 June 2024 diff hist +10,339 N Logarithmically concave function →Log-concave distributions: Use ≥ symbol rather than ">=". Add URLs and other details to references. current

21:4821:48, 21 February 2024 diff hist +11,947 N Reflectarray antenna Add details to caption pointing out differences between cells. current

03:4303:43, 6 January 2024 diff hist +2,512 N Toeplitz Hash Algorithm Fix complaint about missing journal= parameter in {{cite journal}}. TODO: Explain connection between Toeplitz hash and (truncated) cyclic redundancy check current
