  2. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  3. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraneous_and_missing...

    Therefore, the solution = is extraneous and not valid, and the original equation has no solution. For this specific example, it could be recognized that (for the value =), the operation of multiplying by () (+) would be a multiplication by zero. However, it is not always simple to evaluate whether each operation already performed was allowed by ...

  4. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    For example, the equation (+) = has no real solution, because the square of a real number cannot be negative, but has the two nonreal complex solutions + and . Addition, subtraction and multiplication of complex numbers can be naturally defined by using the rule i 2 = − 1 {\displaystyle i^{2}=-1} along with the associative , commutative , and ...

  5. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  6. Indeterminate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminate_equation

    In mathematics, particularly in algebra, an indeterminate equation is an equation for which there is more than one solution. [1] For example, the equation a x + b y = c {\displaystyle ax+by=c} is a simple indeterminate equation, as is x 2 = 1 {\displaystyle x^{2}=1} .

  7. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.

  8. Underdetermined system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdetermined_system

    An underdetermined linear system has either no solution or infinitely many solutions. For example, + + = + + = is an underdetermined system without any solution; any system of equations having no solution is said to be inconsistent.

  9. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    A quadratic equation has at most two solutions. If there is only one solution, one says that it is a double root. If all the coefficients are real numbers, there are either two real solutions, or a single real double root, or two complex solutions that are complex conjugates of each other. A quadratic equation always has two roots, if complex ...
