  2. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    From this, it can be seen that the rate of convergence is superlinear but subquadratic. This can be seen in the following tables, the left of which shows Newton's method applied to the above f(x) = x + x 4/3 and the right of which shows Newton's method applied to f(x) = x + x 2. The quadratic convergence in iteration shown on the right is ...

  3. Log–log plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log–log_plot

    A log–log plot of y = x (blue), y = x 2 (green), and y = x 3 (red). Note the logarithmic scale markings on each of the axes, and that the log x and log y axes (where the logarithms are 0) are where x and y themselves are 1. Comparison of linear, concave, and convex functions when plotted using a linear scale (left) or a log scale (right).

  4. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  5. Transcendental equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_equation

    Graphical solution of sin(x)=ln(x) Approximate numerical solutions to transcendental equations can be found using numerical, analytical approximations, or graphical methods. Numerical methods for solving arbitrary equations are called root-finding algorithms. In some cases, the equation can be well approximated using Taylor series near the zero.

  6. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    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 by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.

  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. Risch algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risch_Algorithm

    If the constant field is computable, i.e., for elements not dependent on x, then the problem of zero-equivalence is decidable, so the Risch algorithm is a complete algorithm. Examples of computable constant fields are ℚ and ℚ( y ) , i.e., rational numbers and rational functions in y with rational-number coefficients, respectively, where y ...

  9. Plot (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(graphics)

    A funnel plot is a scatterplot of treatment effect against a measure of study size. It is used primarily as a visual aid to detecting bias or systematic heterogeneity. Dot plot (statistics) : A dot chart or dot plot is a statistical chart consisting of group of data points plotted on a
