Midpoint between two geographic coordinates
The midpoint between (φ₁, λ₁) and (φ₂, λ₂) is the point lying on the geodesic (great-circle arc) halfway between them. For short distances (a few kilometers), a simple arithmetic mean works: φ_m = (φ₁+φ₂)/2, λ_m = (λ₁+λ₂)/2. For longer distances, the spherical formula uses 3D unit vectors: convert each point to (x, y, z), average, normalize, and convert back. Example: midpoint between São Paulo (-23.5505, -46.6333) and Rio (-22.9068, -43.1729) lands near Resende/RJ, ~halfway along the Dutra highway. The arithmetic shortcut diverges from the spherical answer as the two points get farther apart or near the poles.
Applications
"Meet in the middle" apps that pick a restaurant or café halfway between two friends; route planning splits a long leg into two; mapping centroids of two markers; logistics that pre-position vehicles between depots; emergency response staging.
FAQ
Is the arithmetic mean always good enough? Below ~200 km and away from polar regions, the error is negligible. For intercontinental midpoints, use the spherical formula — averaging coordinates near the date line gives nonsense results.
Does the midpoint equal half the Haversine distance? Yes — by construction, the geodesic midpoint is equidistant from both endpoints.
Same as "centroid" of two points? Conceptually yes for two points; for three or more, centroid (average of all) differs from a true geographic center.

Point-Biserial Correlation
Computes the point-biserial correlation coefficient, which measures the association between a continuous variable and a dichotomous (two-group) variable. It is, in fact, the Pearson correlation applied to the case where one variable takes only two values — so it ranges from −1 to +1 and carries the same interpretation. It shows up often in psychometrics, to assess how well a test item (right/wrong) discriminates between high- and low-scoring students. Enter the continuous values of each of the two groups.
Martensite Start Temperature Ms (Andrews)
Computes the Ms temperature, the point at which austenite starts transforming into martensite during quenching, using the linear Andrews equation: Ms(°C) = 539 − 423·C − 30.4·Mn − 17.7·Ni − 12.1·Cr − 7.5·Mo, with every content in mass percent. Nearly every element dissolved in austenite lowers Ms — cobalt and aluminium are the exceptions and raise it —, but carbon dominates by far: each 0.1 % of carbon drops Ms by 42 °C, nearly 14 times the effect of the same manganese content. Knowing Ms sets the martempering bath temperature, tells whether retained austenite will survive at room temperature, and predicts how severe the quenching stresses will be, because a low Ms makes the martensite expansion happen late, with the part already cold and rigid, and that is where cracks appear. The correlation is fitted to low-alloy steels with carbon up to roughly 0.6 %, and the page rejects compositions above 0.8 % carbon, where the extrapolation loses its footing. Enter the carbon, manganese, nickel, chromium and molybdenum contents.
