Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

We obtain in this paper a considerable improvement over a method developed earlier by Ballester and Pereyra for the solution of systems of linear equations with Vandermonde matrices of coefficients.

We (i) outline a general framework for generating solutions to underdetermined systems of equations, (ii) review properties of several specific methods, including minimal norm and maximum entropy, ...

Introduces ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, linear transformations, and systems of linear differential equations. Prereq., APPM 1360 ...

Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...
