  2. Water pouring puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pouring_puzzle

    Water pouring puzzles (also called water jug problems, decanting problems, [1] [2] measuring puzzles, or Die Hard with a Vengeance puzzles) are a class of puzzle involving a finite collection of water jugs of known integer capacities (in terms of a liquid measure such as liters or gallons). Initially each jug contains a known integer volume of ...

  3. Hilbert's sixth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_sixth_problem

    Hilbert’s sixth problem was a proposal to expand the axiomatic method outside the existing mathematical disciplines, to physics and beyond. This expansion requires development of semantics of physics with formal analysis of the notion of physical reality that should be done. [9]

  4. Vieta jumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieta_jumping

    Replace some a i by a variable x in the formulas, and obtain an equation for which a i is a solution. Using Vieta's formulas, show that this implies the existence of a smaller solution, hence a contradiction. Example. Problem #6 at IMO 1988: Let a and b be positive integers such that ab + 1 divides a 2 + b 2. Prove that ⁠ a 2 + b 2 / ab + 1 ...

  5. Entscheidungsproblem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entscheidungsproblem

    The origin of the Entscheidungsproblem goes back to Gottfried Leibniz, who in the seventeenth century, after having constructed a successful mechanical calculating machine, dreamt of building a machine that could manipulate symbols in order to determine the truth values of mathematical statements. [3]

  6. Mathematical chess problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_chess_problem

    The most famous problem of this type is the eight queens puzzle. Problems are further extended by asking how many possible solutions exist. Further generalizations apply the problem to NxN boards. [3] [4] An 8×8 chessboard can have 16 independent kings, 8 independent queens, 8 independent rooks, 14 independent bishops, or 32 independent ...

  7. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    In this case, the first car is stationary and the second car is approaching from behind at a speed of v 2 − v 1 = 8 m/s. To catch up to the first car, it will take a time of ⁠ d / v 2 − v 1 ⁠ = ⁠ 200 / 8 ⁠ s, that is, 25 seconds, as before. Note how much easier the problem becomes by choosing a suitable frame of reference.

  8. Poincaré conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_conjecture

    The actual solution was not found until Grigori Perelman published his papers. In late 2002 and 2003, Perelman posted three papers on arXiv . [ 29 ] [ 30 ] [ 31 ] In these papers, he sketched a proof of the Poincaré conjecture and a more general conjecture, Thurston's geometrization conjecture , completing the Ricci flow program outlined ...

  9. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    The analytical solution to this problem exists and is well known. The frequency domain solution can be obtained by first finding the Helmholtz decomposition of the displacement field, which is then substituted into the wave equation. From here, the plane wave eigenmodes can be calculated. [citation needed] [clarification needed]
