What is Root Mean Square

The Root Mean Square (RMS) or Quadratic Mean is a number equal to the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the given numbers. It is a special case of the average staid and therefore submits to inequality about the average. In particular, for any number it is no less than the average arithmetic.


The Root Mean Square is widely used in many sciences. In particular, it defines the basic concept of probability theory and mathematical statistics - variance (the square root of which is called medium-square deviation). Also closely related to this concept is the method of the smallest squares, which has a general scientific value.
