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 ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE maths students studying equations and identities, number machines, solving equations, solving equations with brackets, solving equations with unknowns ...

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 ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 13, No. 5 (Oct., 1976), pp. 705-719 (15 pages) A method is described whereby certain nonlinear Volterra integral equations may be numerically solved by ...

Make sure you are confident in calculating with negative numbers, which is a skill often needed to solve equations. To solve the equation, do the inverse operation. The inverse of multiplying by 12 is ...

Mathematical approaches for numerically solving partial differential equations. The focus will be (a) iterative solution methods for linear and non-linear equations, (b) spatial discretization and ...

Carpathian Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 31, No. 1 (2015), pp. 11-30 (20 pages) We use the method of recurrent functions to provide a new semilocal convergence analysis for secant-like methods in order ...

Computer scientists have devised an innovative and elegantly concise algorithm that can efficiently solve systems of linear equations that are critical to such important computer applications as image ...
