  2. Transcendental equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_equation

    Graphical solution of sin(x)=ln(x) Approximate numerical solutions to transcendental equations can be found using numerical, analytical approximations, or graphical methods. Numerical methods for solving arbitrary equations are called root-finding algorithms. In some cases, the equation can be well approximated using Taylor series near the zero.

  3. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

    Those particles with half-integer spins, such as ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠, are known as fermions, while those particles with integer spins, such as 0, 1, 2, are known as bosons. The two families of particles obey different rules and broadly have different roles in the world around us.

  4. Solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solver

    The General Problem Solver (GPS) is a particular computer program created in 1957 by Herbert Simon, J. C. Shaw, and Allen Newell intended to work as a universal problem solver, that theoretically can be used to solve every possible problem that can be formalized in a symbolic system, given the right input configuration.

  5. Situational theory of problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_theory_of...

    The situational theory of problem solving attempts to explain why and how an individual communicates during a problematic situation. The situational theory of problem solving (STOPS) was proposed by Jeong-Nam Kim and James E. Grunig in 2011 though their article “problem solving and communicative action: A situational theory of problem solving.”

  6. Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_and_Swinnerton-Dyer...

    This statement, due to Tunnell's theorem (Tunnell 1983), is related to the fact that n is a congruent number if and only if the elliptic curve y 2 = x 3 − n 2 x has a rational point of infinite order (thus, under the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, its L-function has a zero at 1). The interest in this statement is that the condition is ...

  7. LU decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LU_decomposition

    LDU decomposition of a Walsh matrix. Let A be a square matrix. An LU factorization refers to the factorization of A, with proper row and/or column orderings or permutations, into two factors – a lower triangular matrix L and an upper triangular matrix U:

  8. Binomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem

    In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, it is possible to expand the polynomial (x + y) n into a sum involving terms of the form ax b y c, where the exponents b and c are nonnegative integers with b + c = n, and the coefficient a of each term is a specific positive integer depending ...

  9. Bézier curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézier_curve

    The mathematical basis for Bézier curves—the Bernstein polynomials—was established in 1912, but the polynomials were not applied to graphics until some 50 years later when mathematician Paul de Casteljau in 1959 developed de Casteljau's algorithm, a numerically stable method for evaluating the curves, and became the first to apply them to computer-aided design at French automaker Citroën ...
