    CGA has particularly been applied in connection with the projective mapping of the everyday Euclidean space R 3 into a five-dimensional vector space R 4,1, which has been investigated for applications in robotics and computer vision. It can be applied generally to any pseudo-Euclidean space - for example, Minkowski space R 3,1 to the space R 4,2.

  3. Quartic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function

    Each coordinate of the intersection points of two conic sections is a solution of a quartic equation. The same is true for the intersection of a line and a torus.It follows that quartic equations often arise in computational geometry and all related fields such as computer graphics, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing and optics.

    Consider a linear non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation of the form = + (+) = where () denotes the i-th derivative of , and denotes a function of .. The method of undetermined coefficients provides a straightforward method of obtaining the solution to this ODE when two criteria are met: [2]

  5. Algebraic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_equation

    In mathematics, an algebraic equation or polynomial equation is an equation of the form =, where P is a polynomial with coefficients in some field, often the field of the rational numbers. For example, x 5 − 3 x + 1 = 0 {\displaystyle x^{5}-3x+1=0} is an algebraic equation with integer coefficients and

  6. Quartic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation

    In general, there exist only four possible cases of quartic equations with multiple roots, which are listed below: [3] Multiplicity-4 (M4): when the general quartic equation can be expressed as () =, for some real number. This case can always be reduced to a biquadratic equation.

    The conjecture is that there is a simple way to tell whether such equations have a finite or infinite number of rational solutions. More specifically, the Millennium Prize version of the conjecture is that, if the elliptic curve E has rank r , then the L -function L ( E , s ) associated with it vanishes to order r at s = 1 .

  8. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

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

    Because of this, often, the only simple effective way to deal with multiplication by expressions involving variables is to substitute each of the solutions obtained into the original equation and confirm that this yields a valid equation. After discarding solutions that yield an invalid equation, we will have the correct set of solutions.

  9. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    These equations are inhomogeneous versions of the wave equation, with the terms on the right side of the equation serving as the source functions for the wave. As with any wave equation, these equations lead to two types of solution: advanced potentials (which are related to the configuration of the sources at future points in time), and ...
