    How to Solve It suggests the following steps when solving a mathematical problem : First, you have to understand the problem. [ 2] After understanding, make a plan. [ 3] Carry out the plan. [ 4] Look back on your work. [ 5]

  3. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    Equation solving. The quadratic formula, the symbolic solution of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated ...

  4. Optimal solutions for the Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_solutions_for_the...

    To solve this problem, Kociemba devised a lookup table that provides an exact heuristic for . [17] When the exact number of moves needed to reach G 1 {\displaystyle G_{1}} is available, the search becomes virtually instantaneous: one need only generate 18 cube states for each of the 12 moves and choose the one with the lowest heuristic each time.

  5. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    t. e. In mathematics, separation of variables (also known as the Fourier method) is any of several methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, in which algebra allows one to rewrite an equation so that each of two variables occurs on a different side of the equation.

  6. Algebraic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_equation

    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, is an algebraic equation with integer coefficients and. is a multivariate polynomial equation over the rationals.

  7. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The intersection point is the solution. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of two or more linear equations involving the same variables. [ 1][ 2] For example, is a system of three equations in the three variables x, y, z. A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such ...

  8. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Cubic equation. Graph of a cubic function with 3 real roots (where the curve crosses the horizontal axis at y = 0 ). The case shown has two critical points. Here the function is and therefore the three real roots are 2, -1 and -4. In algebra, a cubic equation in one variable is an equation of the form in which a is not zero.

  9. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields. The former is an example of simple problem solving (SPS) addressing one issue ...
