  2. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

    How to Solve It (1945) is a small volume by mathematician George Pólya, describing methods of problem solving. [1] This book has remained in print continually since ...

  3. Discrete Fourier transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform

    Eq.1 can also be evaluated outside the domain [,], and that extended sequence is -periodic.Accordingly, other sequences of indices are sometimes used, such as [,] (if is even) and [,] (if is odd), which amounts to swapping the left and right halves of the result of the transform.

  4. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    In the simple case of a function of one variable, say, h(x), we can solve an equation of the form h(x) = c for some constant c by considering what is known as the inverse function of h. Given a function h : A → B, the inverse function, denoted h −1 and defined as h −1 : B → A, is a function such that

  5. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    FEM is a general numerical method for solving partial differential equations in two- or three-space variables (i.e., some boundary value problems). There are also studies about using FEM to solve high-dimensional problems. [1] To solve a problem, FEM subdivides a large system into smaller, simpler parts called finite elements.

  6. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    A snippet of C code which prints "Hello, World!". The syntax of the C programming language is the set of rules governing writing of software in C. It is designed to allow for programs that are extremely terse, have a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provide relatively high-level data abstraction.

  7. The spider and the fly problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spider_and_the_fly_problem

    In the typical version of the puzzle, an otherwise empty cuboid room 30 feet long, 12 feet wide and 12 feet high contains a spider and a fly. The spider is 1 foot below the ceiling and horizontally centred on one 12′×12′ wall. The fly is 1 foot above the floor and horizontally centred on the opposite wall.

  8. Quintic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_function

    Finding the roots (zeros) of a given polynomial has been a prominent mathematical problem.. Solving linear, quadratic, cubic and quartic equations in terms of radicals and elementary arithmetic operations on the coefficients can always be done, no matter whether the roots are rational or irrational, real or complex; there are formulas that yield the required solutions.

  9. Initial value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_problem

    An initial value problem is a differential equation ′ = (, ()) with : where is an open set of , together with a point in the domain of (,),called the initial condition.. A solution to an initial value problem is a function that is a solution to the differential equation and satisfies
