  2. AP Calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Calculus

    The AP Program includes specifications for two calculus courses and the exam for each course. The two courses and the two corresponding exams are designated as Calculus AB and Calculus BC. Calculus AB can be offered as an AP course by any school that can organize a curriculum for students with advanced mathematical ability. [1]

  3. Fermat's theorem (stationary points) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_theorem...

    Fermat's theorem is central to the calculus method of determining maxima and minima: in one dimension, one can find extrema by simply computing the stationary points (by computing the zeros of the derivative), the non-differentiable points, and the boundary points, and then investigating this set to determine the extrema.

  4. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

  5. Complex quadratic polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_quadratic_polynomial

    Quadratic polynomials have the following properties, regardless of the form: It is a unicritical polynomial, i.e. it has one finite critical point in the complex plane, Dynamical plane consist of maximally 2 basins: basin of infinity and basin of finite critical point ( if finite critical point do not escapes)

  6. Argument (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_(complex_analysis)

    Figure 1. This Argand diagram represents the complex number lying on a plane.For each point on the plane, arg is the function which returns the angle . In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and the line joining the origin and z, represented as a point in the complex plane, shown as in ...

  7. Envelope (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(mathematics)

    Finally we calculate E 3. Every point in the plane has at least one tangent line to γ passing through it, and so region filled by the tangent lines is the whole plane. The boundary E 3 is therefore the empty set. Indeed, consider a point in the plane, say (x 0,y 0). This point lies on a tangent line if and only if there exists a t such that

  8. Percolation threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_threshold

    The critical point is where the longer bonds (on both the lattice and dual lattice) have occupation probability p = 2 sin (π/18) = 0.347296... which is the bond percolation threshold on a triangular lattice, and the shorter bonds have occupation probability 1 − 2 sin(π/18) = 0.652703..., which is the bond percolation on a hexagonal lattice.

  9. Arc length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_length

    Arc length is the distance between two points along a section of a curve. Development of a formulation of arc length suitable for applications to mathematics and the sciences is a focus of calculus .
