  2. Quintic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_function

    An example of a more complicated (although small enough to be written here) solution is the unique real root of x 5 − 5x + 12 = 0. Let a = √ 2 φ −1 , b = √ 2 φ , and c = 4 √ 5 , where φ = ⁠ 1+ √ 5 / 2 ⁠ is the golden ratio .

  3. Quintic threefold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_threefold

    One of the easiest examples to check of a Calabi-Yau manifold is given by the Fermat quintic threefold, which is defined by the vanishing locus of the polynomial = + + + + Computing the partial derivatives of gives the four polynomials = = = = = Since the only points where they vanish is given by the coordinate axes in , the vanishing locus is empty since [::::] is not a point in .

  4. 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.

  5. Affine transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_transformation

    Let X be an affine space over a field k, and V be its associated vector space. An affine transformation is a bijection f from X onto itself that is an affine map; this means that a linear map g from V to V is well defined by the equation () = (); here, as usual, the subtraction of two points denotes the free vector from the second point to the first one, and "well-defined" means that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_cases_of_Apollonius...

    The two circles in the Two points, one line problem where the line through P and Q is not parallel to the given line l, can be constructed with compass and straightedge by: Draw the line m through the given points P and Q. The point G is where the lines l and m intersect; Draw circle C that has PQ as diameter. Draw one of the tangents from G to ...

  7. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Polynomial curves fitting points generated with a sine function. The black dotted line is the "true" data, the red line is a first degree polynomial, the green line is second degree, the orange line is third degree and the blue line is fourth degree. The first degree polynomial equation = + is a line with slope a. A line will connect any two ...

  8. Incidence geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidence_geometry

    The theorem asserts the existence of positive constants C, K such that given any n points in the plane, at least one of the following statements is true: There is a line that contains at least ⁠ n / C ⁠ of the points. There exist at least ⁠ n 2 / K ⁠ lines, each of which contains at least two of the points.

  9. Straight-line program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-line_program

    The straight-line cost c(g|S) of an element g ∈ G is the length of a shortest straight-line program over S computing g. The cost is infinite if g is not in the subgroup generated by S. A straight-line program is similar to a derivation in predicate logic. The elements of S correspond to axioms and the group operations correspond to the rules ...
