  2. Grelling–Nelson paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grelling–Nelson_paradox

    The Grelling–Nelson paradox arises from the question of whether the term "non-self-descriptive" is self-descriptive. It was formulated in 1908 by Kurt Grelling and Leonard Nelson, and is sometimes mistakenly attributed to the German philosopher and mathematician Hermann Weyl [1] thus occasionally called Weyl's paradox or Grelling's paradox.

  3. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    The first and still popular method for ensuring convergence relies on line searches, which optimize a function along one dimension. A second and increasingly popular method for ensuring convergence uses trust regions. Both line searches and trust regions are used in modern methods of non-differentiable optimization.

  4. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

    Mental calculation has long been a component of mathematical education. Mental calculation consists of arithmetical calculations using only the human brain, with no help from any supplies (such as pencil and paper) or devices such as a calculator.

  5. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    Infix notation is a method similar to immediate execution with AESH and/or AESP, but unary operations are input into the calculator in the same order as they are written on paper. Calculators that use infix notation tend to incorporate a dot-matrix display to display the expression being entered, frequently accompanied by a seven-segment ...

  6. Simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include:

  7. Explicit and implicit methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_and_implicit_methods

    In the vast majority of cases, the equation to be solved when using an implicit scheme is much more complicated than a quadratic equation, and no analytical solution exists. Then one uses root-finding algorithms, such as Newton's method, to find the numerical solution. Crank-Nicolson method. With the Crank-Nicolson method

  8. Revised simplex method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_simplex_method

    Because the revised simplex method is mathematically equivalent to the simplex method, it also suffers from degeneracy, where a pivot operation does not result in a decrease in c T x, and a chain of pivot operations causes the basis to cycle. A perturbation or lexicographic strategy can be used to prevent cycling and guarantee termination.

  9. Simplex algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex_algorithm

    In mathematical optimization, Dantzig's simplex algorithm (or simplex method) is a popular algorithm for linear programming. [ 1 ] The name of the algorithm is derived from the concept of a simplex and was suggested by T. S. Motzkin . [ 2 ]
