2. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

   If this infinite continued fraction converges at all, it must converge to one of the roots of the monic polynomial x 2 + bx + c = 0. Unfortunately, this particular continued fraction does not converge to a finite number in every case. We can easily see that this is so by considering the quadratic formula and a monic polynomial with real ...

3. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   A cake with one quarter (one fourth) removed. The remaining three fourths are shown by dotted lines and labeled by the fraction 1 ⁄ 4. A fraction (from Latin: fractus, "broken") represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size ...

4. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator. [1]

5. Fractional calculus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_calculus

   Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematical analysis that studies the several different possibilities of defining real number powers or complex number powers of the differentiation operator = (),

6. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

   Thus, when one separates variables for first-order equations, one in fact moves the dx denominator of the operator to the side with the x variable, and the d(y) is left on the side with the y variable. The second-derivative operator, by analogy, breaks down as follows:

7. Linear-fractional programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-fractional_programming

   The main idea is to introduce a new non-negative variable to the program which will be used to rescale the constants involved in the program (,,). This allows us to require that the denominator of the objective function ( d T x + β {\displaystyle \mathbf {d} ^{T}\mathbf {x} +\beta } ) equals 1.

8. Algebraic fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_fraction

   A complex fraction is a fraction whose numerator or denominator, or both, contains a fraction. A simple fraction contains no fraction either in its numerator or its denominator. A fraction is in lowest terms if the only factor common to the numerator and the denominator is 1. An expression which is not in fractional form is an integral ...

9. Fifth Quarter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Quarter

   The Fifth Quarter (or 5th Quarter) is an addition to a whole normally divided into four parts, usually referring to post-game activities after an American or Australian rules football game, which each are divided into four timing quarters. It may refer to: The Fifth Quarter (short story), written in 1972 by Stephen King
