  2. Related rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Related_rates

    The most common way to approach related rates problems is the following: [2] Identify the known variables , including rates of change and the rate of change that is to be found. (Drawing a picture or representation of the problem can help to keep everything in order)

  3. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields.

  4. Rate (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a rate is the quotient of two quantities, often represented as a fraction. [1] If the divisor (or fraction denominator) in the rate is equal to one expressed as a single unit, and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically (i.e., is an independent variable), then the dividend (the fraction numerator) of the rate expresses the corresponding rate of change ...

  6. Lateral thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thinking

    Problem-solving deals with finding out what caused the problem and then figuring out ways to fix the problem. The objective is to get the situation to where it should be. For example, a production line has an established run rate of 1000 items per hour. Suddenly, the run rate drops to 800 items per hour.

  7. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    A sequence of approximate grid solutions () of some problem that converges to a true solution with a corresponding sequence of regular grid spacings () that converge to 0 is said to have asymptotic order of convergence and asymptotic rate of convergence if

  8. Rope-burning puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope-burning_puzzle

    A common and simple version of this problem asks to measure a time of 45 seconds using only two fuses that each burn for a minute. The assumptions of the problem are usually specified in a way that prevents measuring out 3/4 of the length of one fuse and burning it end-to-end, for instance by stating that the fuses burn unevenly along their length.

  9. Shooting method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_method

    In numerical analysis, the shooting method is a method for solving a boundary value problem by reducing it to an initial value problem.It involves finding solutions to the initial value problem for different initial conditions until one finds the solution that also satisfies the boundary conditions of the boundary value problem.
