approximate calculation
rough calculation

Two approximate calculations give the number of atoms in the observable universe to be close to 10.

Fermi was known for his ability to make good approximate calculations with little or no actual data, hence the name.

I must then at least do an approximate calculation of the potential climatic effects of the global increase in energy production.

Soubise picked up the sheets of paper, read them over again, and made an approximate calculation.

"The main deflector has been reconfigured, and approximate calculations have been completed."

Since this is an approximate calculation, the actual gas guzzler tax may be off by one tax bracket.

An approximate calculation, plus or minus three inches."

This is only an approximate calculation: it was night when he woke, but he was as if reborn.

Relatively simple approximate calculations, however, using the variables of equilibrium thermodynamics, are of much practical value in engineering.

Jonathan Halliwell and I have made an approximate calculation of what the no-boundary condition would imply.

This is an approximate calculation so we can assume that the density and specific heat capacity of the reaction mixture are the same as that for water.

Through an approximate calculation, which takes account of the weight of the income and population within the Spanish total, it was stipulated that the proportion was 6.24%.

The overlap conflicts reported by SLR parsers are then spurious, a result of the approximate calculation using Follow(A).

In my own Member State, Germany, alone, approximate calculations indicate that the public become liable to over EUR 30 billion in additional taxes every year.

Sometimes this makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of computation, for example in approximate calculation of conformal mapings of strongly elongated rectangles.

In this calm sea he could guess the speed of the boat and by checking his watch every few minutes he could make an approximate calculation of the distance.

GA phases are the standard genetic algorithm iterations and the BFGS phases are the approximated calculations designed to save time.

The chapter ends with an approximate calculation of the overall cost of the project, and this is compared with a calculation of the total sum saved through the operation of the project.

In approximate calculations in several quantum field theories, notably quantum electrodynamics and theories of the Higgs particle, the running coupling appears to become infinite at a finite momentum scale.

SWAG is used to describe an estimate derived from a combination of factors including past experience, general impressions, and heuristic or approximate calculations rather than an exhaustive search, proof, or rigorous calculation.

The test's experimental designer Dr. Brownlee performed a highly approximate calculation that suggested that the low-yield nuclear explosive would accelerate the massive (900 kg) steel capping plate to six times escape velocity.

The integer quantization of the Hall conductance was originally predicted by Ando, Matsumoto, and Uemura in 1975, on the basis of an approximate calculation which they themselves did not believe to be true.

Although it is sometimes useful for approximate calculations to suppose that ν T is an (empirical) constant, in general(19.18) should be regarded as the defining equation of ν T rather than an equation for.

All the data from each crossing is held in buffers within the detector while a small amount of key information is used to perform a fast, approximate calculation to identify features of interest such as high energy jets, muons or missing energy.

Archaeologists found around 120 burials in Mausoleum F and at least 170 in Mausoleum H. An approximate calculation of the number of body and urn burials in the 22 excavated tombs yielded a number of more than 1,000 funerals.
