  2. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

    Eliminate possibilities [11] Use symmetry [12] Consider special cases [13] Use direct reasoning; Solve an equation [14] Also suggested: Look for a pattern [15] Draw a picture [16] Solve a simpler problem [17] Use a model [18] Work backward [19] Use a formula [20] Be creative [21] Applying these rules to devise a plan takes your own skill and ...

  3. Solving chess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_chess

    Although losing chess is played on an 8×8 board, its forced capture rule greatly limits its complexity, and a computational analysis managed to weakly solve this variant as a win for White. [ 8 ] The prospect of solving individual, specific, chess-like games becomes more difficult as the board-size is increased, such as in large chess variants ...

  4. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    A snippet of C code which prints "Hello, World!". The syntax of the C programming language is the set of rules governing writing of software in C. It is designed to allow for programs that are extremely terse, have a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provide relatively high-level data abstraction.

  5. Discrete Fourier transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform

    Eq.1 can also be evaluated outside the domain [,], and that extended sequence is -periodic.Accordingly, other sequences of indices are sometimes used, such as [,] (if is even) and [,] (if is odd), which amounts to swapping the left and right halves of the result of the transform.

  6. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

  7. Quintic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_function

    An example of a more complicated (although small enough to be written here) solution is the unique real root of x 5 − 5x + 12 = 0. Let a = √ 2φ −1, b = √ 2φ, and c = 4 √ 5, where φ = ⁠ 1+ √ 5 / 2 ⁠ is the golden ratio. Then the only real solution x = −1.84208... is given by

  8. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    With high-speed supercomputers, better solutions can be achieved and are often required to solve the largest and most complex problems. FEM is a general numerical method for solving partial differential equations in two- or three-space variables (i.e., some boundary value problems ).

  9. Vector calculus identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus_identities

    For example, from the identity A⋅(B×C) = (A×B)⋅C we may derive A⋅(∇×C) = (A×∇)⋅C but not ∇⋅(B×C) = (∇×B)⋅C, nor from A⋅(B×A) = 0 may we derive A⋅(∇×A) = 0. On the other hand, a subscripted del operates on all occurrences of the subscript in the term, so that A ⋅(∇ A × A ) = ∇ A ⋅( A × A ) = ∇⋅( A ...
