A matchstick puzzle ("Move 1 matchstick to make the equation 6+4=4 valid") and its solution below. Matchstick puzzles are rearrangement puzzles in which a number of matchsticks are arranged into shapes or numbers, and the problem to solve is usually formulated as moving a fixed number of matchsticks to achieve some specific other arrangement.
The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is an open-source collection of interactive programmes called Demonstrations. It is hosted by Wolfram Research. At its launch, it contained 1300 demonstrations but has grown to over 10,000. The site won a Parents' Choice Award in 2008.
The smallest (and unique up to rotation and reflection) non-trivial case of a magic square, order 3. In mathematics, especially historical and recreational mathematics, a square array of numbers, usually positive integers, is called a magic square if the sums of the numbers in each row, each column, and both main diagonals are the same.
A second way to investigate the behavior of these automata is to examine its history starting with a random state. This behavior can be better understood in terms of Wolfram classes. Wolfram gives the following examples as typical rules of each class. [4] Class 1: Cellular automata which rapidly converge to a uniform state.
The Wolfram Language (/ ˈ w ʊ l f r əm / WUUL-frəm) is a proprietary, [7] general-purpose, very high-level multi-paradigm programming language [8] developed by Wolfram Research. It emphasizes symbolic computation , functional programming , and rule-based programming [ 9 ] and can employ arbitrary structures and data. [ 9 ]
The transition from activities to the formal Mathematical systems is guided by a variety of general insights and ideas. Another approach for defining mathematics is to use its methods. For example, an area of study is often qualified as mathematics as soon as one can prove theorems—assertions whose validity relies on a proof, that is, a ...
Animation of the missing square puzzle, showing the two arrangements of the pieces and the "missing" square Both "total triangles" are in a perfect 13×5 grid; and both the "component triangles", the blue in a 5×2 grid and the red in an 8×3 grid.
A maximum matching (also known as maximum-cardinality matching [2]) is a matching that contains the largest possible number of edges. There may be many maximum matchings. The matching number of a graph G is the size of a maximum matching. Every maximum matching is maximal, but not every maximal matching is a maximum matching.
