  2. Dynamic rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_rectangle

    [5] The root-3 rectangle is also called sixton, [6] and its short and longer sides are proportionally equivalent to the side and diameter of a hexagon. [7] Since 2 is the square root of 4, the root-4 rectangle has a proportion 1:2, which means that it is equivalent to two squares side-by-side. [7] The root-5 rectangle is related to the golden ...

    Denotes square root and is read as the square root of. Rarely used in modern mathematics without a horizontal bar delimiting the width of its argument (see the next item). For example, √2. √ (radical symbol) 1. Denotes square root and is read as the square root of. For example, +. 2.

    [5] [page needed] It says that, if the topological degree of a function f on a rectangle is non-zero, then the rectangle must contain at least one root of f. This criterion is the basis for several root-finding methods, such as those of Stenger [6] and Kearfott. [7] However, computing the topological degree can be time-consuming.

  5. Rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle

    In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a rectilinear convex polygon or a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.

    Rigor is a cornerstone quality of mathematics, and can play an important role in preventing mathematics from degenerating into fallacies. well-behaved An object is well-behaved (in contrast with being Pathological ) if it satisfies certain prevailing regularity properties, or if it conforms to mathematical intuition (even though intuition can ...

  7. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    In mathematics, an n th root of a number x is a number r (the root) which, when raised to the power of the positive integer n, yields x: = ⏟ =.. The integer n is called the index or degree, and the number x of which the root is taken is the radicand.

    For instance, information that includes stuff I can't cite: The trion (2/3 root-3) is related to the trinagle (the longer side is the conjugate of the proportion of the height of a trinagle), 1:1 or root-1 is the square (tetragon), phi to the pentagon, the decagon and every polygon multiple of 5 and root-3 is related to an hexagon. Root-5 has ...

  9. Householder's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Householder's_method

    In mathematics, and more specifically in numerical analysis, Householder's methods are a class of root-finding algorithms that are used for functions of one real variable with continuous derivatives up to some order d + 1. Each of these methods is characterized by the number d, which is known as the order of the method.
