  2. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The other roots of the equation are obtained either by changing of cube root or, equivalently, by multiplying the cube root by a primitive cube root of unity, that is . This formula for the roots is always correct except when p = q = 0 , with the proviso that if p = 0 , the square root is chosen so that C ≠ 0 .

  3. Diophantine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantine_equation

    The oldest general method for solving a Diophantine equation—or for proving that there is no solution— is the method of infinite descent, which was introduced by Pierre de Fermat. Another general method is the Hasse principle that uses modular arithmetic modulo all prime numbers for finding the solutions. Despite many improvements these ...

  4. List of open-source software for mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source...

    The primary difference between a computer algebra system and a traditional calculator is the ability to deal with equations symbolically rather than numerically. The precise uses and capabilities of these systems differ greatly from one system to another, yet their purpose remains the same: manipulation of symbolic equations .

  5. Pell's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell's_equation

    The resulting algorithm for solving Pell's equation is more efficient than the continued fraction method, though it still takes more than polynomial time. Under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis , it can be shown to take time exp ⁡ O ( log ⁡ N ⋅ log ⁡ log ⁡ N ) , {\displaystyle \exp O\left({\sqrt {\log N\cdot \log ...

  6. Menger sponge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger_sponge

    Begin with a cube. Divide every face of the cube into nine squares in a similar manner to a Rubik's Cube. This sub-divides the cube into 27 smaller cubes. Remove the smaller cube in the middle of each face, and remove the smaller cube in the center of the larger cube, leaving 20 smaller cubes. This is a level-1 Menger sponge (resembling a void ...

  7. SAT solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAT_solver

    In computer science and formal methods, a SAT solver is a computer program which aims to solve the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT). On input a formula over Boolean variables, such as "(x or y) and (x or not y)", a SAT solver outputs whether the formula is satisfiable, meaning that there are possible values of x and y which make the formula true, or unsatisfiable, meaning that there are no ...

    The Rubik's Cube world champion is 19 years old an can solve it in less than 6 seconds. While you won't get anywhere near his time without some years of practice, solving the cube is really not ...

  9. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

    In algebraic terms, doubling a unit cube requires the construction of a line segment of length x, where x 3 = 2; in other words, x = , the cube root of two. This is because a cube of side length 1 has a volume of 1 3 = 1 , and a cube of twice that volume (a volume of 2) has a side length of the cube root of 2.
