  2. Slope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  3. Desmos - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmos

    The name Desmos came from the Greek word δεσμός which means a bond or a tie. [6] In May 2022, Amplify acquired the Desmos curriculum and teacher.desmos.com. Some 50 employees joined Amplify. Desmos Studio was spun off as a separate public benefit corporation focused on building calculator products and other math tools. [7]

  4. Lill's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lill's_method

    Black segments are labeled with their lengths (coefficients in the equation), while each colored line with initial slope m and the same endpoint corresponds to a real root. In mathematics, Lill's method is a visual method of finding the real roots of a univariate polynomial of any degree. [1] It was developed by Austrian engineer Eduard Lill in ...

  5. Ramp function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramp_function

    Graph of the ramp function. The ramp function is a unary real function, whose graph is shaped like a ramp.It can be expressed by numerous definitions, for example "0 for negative inputs, output equals input for non-negative inputs".

  6. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folium_of_Descartes

    The curve was first proposed and studied by René Descartes in 1638. [1] Its claim to fame lies in an incident in the development of calculus.Descartes challenged Pierre de Fermat to find the tangent line to the curve at an arbitrary point since Fermat had recently discovered a method for finding tangent lines.

  7. Tractrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractrix

    Tractrix with object initially at (4, 0). Suppose the object is placed at (a, 0) (or (4, 0) in the example shown at right), and the puller at the origin, so a is the length of the pulling thread (4 in the example at right).

  8. Conical spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_spiral

    Conical spiral with an archimedean spiral as floor projection Floor projection: Fermat's spiral Floor projection: logarithmic spiral Floor projection: hyperbolic spiral. In mathematics, a conical spiral, also known as a conical helix, [1] is a space curve on a right circular cone, whose floor projection is a plane spiral.

  9. Slope field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

    the slope field is an array of slope marks in the phase space (in any number of dimensions depending on the number of relevant variables; for example, two in the case of a first-order linear ODE, as seen to the right). Each slope mark is centered at a point (,,, …,) and is parallel to the vector
