  2. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians.

  3. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    However, equation (3-11) is a 16th-order equation, and even if we factor out the four solutions for the fixed points and the 2-periodic points, it is still a 12th-order equation. Therefore, it is no longer possible to solve this equation to obtain an explicit function of a that represents the values of the 4-periodic points in the same way as ...

  4. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    The Haaland equation was proposed in 1983 by Professor S.E. Haaland of the Norwegian Institute of Technology. [9] It is used to solve directly for the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f for a full-flowing circular pipe. It is an approximation of the implicit Colebrook–White equation, but the discrepancy from experimental data is well within ...

  5. Sine and cosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_and_cosine

    In mathematics, sine and cosine are trigonometric functions of an angle.The sine and cosine of an acute angle are defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, its sine is the ratio of the length of the side opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse), and the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to that of the ...

  6. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Skin friction arises from the interaction between the fluid and the skin of the body, and is directly related to the area of the surface of the body that is in contact with the fluid. Skin friction follows the drag equation and rises with the square of the velocity. Skin friction is caused by viscous drag in the boundary layer around the object ...

  7. Neutron star - Wikipedia

    This is one of the ways equations of state can be constrained by astronomical observations. To create these curves, one must solve the TOV equations for different central densities. For each central density, you numerically solve the mass and pressure equations until the pressure goes to zero, which is the outside of the star.

  8. Probability density function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

    For functions that are not monotonic, the probability density function for y is = | | (()), where n(y) is the number of solutions in x for the equation () =, and () are these solutions. Vector to vector
