  2. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    Examples of fictitious forces are the centrifugal force and the Coriolis force in rotating reference frames. To apply the Newtonian definition of an inertial frame, the understanding of separation between "fictitious" forces and "real" forces must be made clear. For example, consider a stationary object in an inertial frame.

  3. Diophantus II.VIII - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantus_II.VIII

    Diophantus II.IX reaches the same solution by an even quicker route which is very similar to the 'generalized solution' above. Once again the problem is to divide 16 into two squares. [3] Let the first number be N and the second an arbitrary multiple of N diminished by the root (of) 16. For example 2N − 4. Then:

  4. Vieta jumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieta_jumping

    Replace some a i by a variable x in the formulas, and obtain an equation for which a i is a solution. Using Vieta's formulas, show that this implies the existence of a smaller solution, hence a contradiction. Example. Problem #6 at IMO 1988: Let a and b be positive integers such that ab + 1 divides a 2 + b 2. Prove that ⁠ a 2 + b 2 / ab + 1 ...

  5. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    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.

  6. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

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

    The solution = is in fact a valid solution to the original equation; but the other solution, =, has disappeared. The problem is that we divided both sides by x {\displaystyle x} , which involves the indeterminate operation of dividing by zero when x = 0. {\displaystyle x=0.}

  7. Hilbert's eighth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_eighth_problem

    Hilbert's eighth problem is one of David Hilbert's list of open mathematical problems posed in 1900. It concerns number theory , and in particular the Riemann hypothesis , [ 1 ] although it is also concerned with the Goldbach conjecture .

    Finding the global minimum solution of a Hartree-Fock problem [37] Upward planarity testing [8] Hospitals-and-residents problem with couples; Knot genus [38] Latin square completion (the problem of determining if a partially filled square can be completed) Maximum 2-satisfiability [3]: LO5

  9. Hermite polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_polynomials

    This eigenvalue problem is called the Hermite equation, although the term is also used for the closely related equation ″ ′ =. whose solution is uniquely given in terms of physicist's Hermite polynomials in the form () = (), where denotes a constant, after imposing the boundary condition that u should be polynomially bounded at infinity.
