  2. Riemann sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum

    In mathematics, a Riemann sum is a certain kind of approximation of an integral by a finite sum. It is named after nineteenth century German mathematician Bernhard Riemann . One very common application is in numerical integration , i.e., approximating the area of functions or lines on a graph, where it is also known as the rectangle rule .

  3. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    For example, the problem of deciding whether a graph G contains H as a minor, where H is fixed, can be solved in a running time of O(n 2), [25] where n is the number of vertices in G. However, the big O notation hides a constant that depends superexponentially on H .

  4. Midpoint method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_method

    The midpoint method computes + so that the red chord is approximately parallel to the tangent line at the midpoint (the green line). In numerical analysis , a branch of applied mathematics , the midpoint method is a one-step method for numerically solving the differential equation ,

  5. Divisor summatory function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisor_summatory_function

    In number theory, the divisor summatory function is a function that is a sum over the divisor function. It frequently occurs in the study of the asymptotic behaviour of the Riemann zeta function. The various studies of the behaviour of the divisor function are sometimes called divisor problems.

  6. Video game programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_programming

    Game programming, a subset of game development, is the software development of video games.Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering and computer programming in a given language, as well as specialization in one or more of the following areas: simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input.

  7. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    The value of () can be given by several series. In terms of a sum involving the floor function it can be expressed as: [5] = + = (⌊ + ⌋ ⌊ + ⌋).This is a consequence of Jacobi's two-square theorem, which follows almost immediately from the Jacobi triple product.

  8. List of zeta functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zeta_functions

    In mathematics, a zeta function is (usually) a function analogous to the original example, the Riemann zeta function = =. Zeta functions include: Airy zeta function, related to the zeros of the Airy function; Arakawa–Kaneko zeta function; Arithmetic zeta function

  9. Numerical integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration

    For this purpose it is possible to use the following fact: if we draw the circle with the sum of a and b as the diameter, then the height BH (from a point of their connection to crossing with a circle) equals their geometric mean. The similar geometrical construction solves a problem of a quadrature for a parallelogram and a triangle.
