  2. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations.Typically, it applies to first-order equations, though in general characteristic curves can also be found for hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation.

  3. Roadrunner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner

    The roadrunner is the state bird of New Mexico. [25] The roadrunner was made popular by the Warner Bros. cartoon characters Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, created in 1949, and the subject of a long-running series of theatrical cartoon shorts. In each episode, the cunning, insidious, and constantly hungry Wile E. Coyote repeatedly attempts ...

  5. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    Instantiating a symbolic solution with specific numbers gives a numerical solution; for example, a = 0 gives (x, y) = (1, 0) (that is, x = 1, y = 0), and a = 1 gives (x, y) = (2, 1). The distinction between known variables and unknown variables is generally made in the statement of the problem, by phrases such as "an equation in x and y ", or ...

  6. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

    The "homework machine" is in the style of the large mainframe computers of the 1950s, but uses magnetic tapes, and microphone input instead of paper punched cards.The concept of students using computers for research is common today; however, this computer was not merely a machine to which the drudgery of solving many three or four digit long division problems could be offloaded; it was also ...

  8. Overdetermined system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdetermined_system

    Consider the system of linear equations: L i = 0 for 1 ≤ i ≤ M, and variables X 1, X 2, ..., X N, where each L i is a weighted sum of the X i s. Then X 1 = X 2 = ⋯ = X N = 0 is always a solution. When M < N the system is underdetermined and there are always an infinitude of further solutions.

  9. Fourier–Motzkin elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier–Motzkin_elimination

    Fourier–Motzkin elimination, also known as the FME method, is a mathematical algorithm for eliminating variables from a system of linear inequalities. It can output real solutions. The algorithm is named after Joseph Fourier [ 1 ] who proposed the method in 1826 and Theodore Motzkin who re-discovered it in 1936.
