  2. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

    Pólya mentions that there are many reasonable ways to solve problems. [3] The skill at choosing an appropriate strategy is best learned by solving many problems. You will find choosing a strategy increasingly easy. A partial list of strategies is included: Guess and check [9] Make an orderly list [10] Eliminate possibilities [11] Use symmetry [12]

  3. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    Subtract the remaining digits from 9. Add half of the neighbor, plus 5 if the digit is odd. For the leading 0, subtract 1 from half of the neighbor. Example: 346 × 4 = 1384 Working from right to left: (10 − 6) + Half of 0 (0) = 4. Write 4. (9 − 4) + Half of 6 (3) = 8. Write 8. (93) + Half of 4 (2) + 5 (since 3 is odd) = 13. Write 3 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilmore_Gap

    The Bureau of Meteorology operates a weather station known as Wallan (Kilmore Gap) established in 1993. [4] The saddle is highly exposed to the west-southwest at an altitude of 528 metres (1,732 ft) and is commonly met with sleet and at times, snow.

  5. Backward differentiation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_differentiation...

    The backward differentiation formula (BDF) is a family of implicit methods for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations.They are linear multistep methods that, for a given function and time, approximate the derivative of that function using information from already computed time points, thereby increasing the accuracy of the approximation.

  6. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In these enlarged number systems, division is the inverse operation to multiplication, that is a = c / b means a × b = c, as long as b is not zero. If b = 0, then this is a division by zero, which is not defined. [a] [4]: 246 In the 21-apples example, everyone would receive 5 apple and a quarter of an apple, thus avoiding any leftover.

  7. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    It is divisible by 2 and by 3. [6] 1,458: 1 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 18, so it is divisible by 3 and the last digit is even, hence the number is divisible by 6. Sum the ones digit, 4 times the 10s digit, 4 times the 100s digit, 4 times the 1000s digit, etc. If the result is divisible by 6, so is the original number.

  8. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The eigenvalues of a 3×3 matrix are the roots of a cubic polynomial which is the characteristic polynomial of the matrix. The characteristic equation of a third-order constant coefficients or Cauchy–Euler (equidimensional variable coefficients) linear differential equation or difference equation is a cubic equation.

  9. Chinese remainder theorem - Wikipedia

    for a solution of the two first congruences, the other solutions being obtained by adding to −9 any multiple of 3 × 4 = 12. One may continue with any of these solutions, but the solution 3 = −9 +12 is smaller (in absolute value) and thus leads probably to an easier computation Bézout identity for 5 and 3 × 4 = 12 is
