2. 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.

3. Cancelling out - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancelling_out

   So some care may be needed to ensure that cancelling out is done correctly and no solutions are overlooked or incorrect. Our simple inequality has three sets of solutions, which are: b > 0 and a ≥ 3. (For example b = 5 and a = 6 is a solution because 6 x 5 is 30 and 3 x 5 is 15, and 30 ≥ 15) or

4. Arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_mean

   In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean (/ ˌ æ r ɪ θ ˈ m ɛ t ɪ k / arr-ith-MET-ik), arithmetic average, or just the mean or average (when the context is clear) is the sum of a collection of numbers divided by the count of numbers in the collection. [1]

5. Exercise (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In college mathematics exercises often depend on functions of a real variable or application of theorems. The standard exercises of calculus involve finding derivatives and integrals of specified functions. Usually instructors prepare students with worked examples: the exercise is stated, then a model answer is provided. Often several worked ...

6. Equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation

   In other words, in space, all conics are defined as the solution set of an equation of a plane and of the equation of a cone just given. This formalism allows one to determine the positions and the properties of the focuses of a conic. The use of equations allows one to call on a large area of mathematics to solve geometric questions.

7. Mathematical analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_analysis

   A differential equation is a mathematical equation for an unknown function of one or several variables that relates the values of the function itself and its derivatives of various orders. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Differential equations play a prominent role in engineering , physics , economics , biology , and other disciplines.

8. Fick's laws of diffusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick's_laws_of_diffusion

   Fick's first law relates the diffusive flux to the gradient of the concentration. It postulates that the flux goes from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration, with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept that a solute will move from a region of high concentration to a region of low ...

9. Algebraic expression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

   An algebraic equation is an equation involving polynomials, for which algebraic expressions may be solutions. If you restrict your set of constants to be numbers, any algebraic expression can be called an arithmetic expression. However, algebraic expressions can be used on more abstract objects such as in Abstract algebra.
