  2. Line drawing algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm

    A simple way to parallelize single-color line rasterization is to let multiple line-drawing algorithms draw offset pixels of a certain distance from each other. [2] Another method involves dividing the line into multiple sections of approximately equal length, which are then assigned to different processors for rasterization. The main problem ...

  3. Quintic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_function

    Finding the roots (zeros) of a given polynomial has been a prominent mathematical problem.. Solving linear, quadratic, cubic and quartic equations in terms of radicals and elementary arithmetic operations on the coefficients can always be done, no matter whether the roots are rational or irrational, real or complex; there are formulas that yield the required solutions.

  4. Order polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_polynomial

    The order polynomial is a polynomial studied in mathematics, in particular in algebraic graph theory and algebraic combinatorics. The order polynomial counts the number of order-preserving maps from a poset to a chain of length n {\displaystyle n} .

  5. Lill's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lill's_method

    Finding roots of 3x 2 + 5x − 2. Lill's method can be used with Thales's theorem to find the real roots of a quadratic polynomial. In this example with 3x 2 + 5x − 2, the polynomial's line segments are first drawn in black, as above. A circle is drawn with the straight line segment joining the start and end points forming a diameter.

  6. String line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_line

    A string line is a tool made for the purpose of marking a straight line, level, or corner for construction purposes. when building foundations, string lines are hung on batter boards [1] View of crossed strings at batter boards. indicating corner of foundation.

  7. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    This polynomial is further reduced to = + + which is shown in blue and yields a zero of −5. The final root of the original polynomial may be found by either using the final zero as an initial guess for Newton's method, or by reducing () and solving the linear equation. As can be seen, the expected roots of −8, −5, −3, 2, 3, and 7 were ...

  8. Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routh–Hurwitz_stability...

    For a fourth-order polynomial = + + + + =, all coefficients must be positive, where [4] <, =,,,,; <; <. (When this is derived you do not know all coefficients should be positive, and you add >.) In general the Routh stability criterion states a polynomial has all roots in the open left half-plane if and only if all first-column elements of the ...

  9. Silverpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverpoint

    Silverpoint is one of several types of metalpoint used by scribes, craftsmen and artists since ancient times. Metalpoint styli were used for writing on soft surfaces (wax or bark), ruling and underdrawing on parchment, and drawing on prepared paper and panel supports. For drawing purposes, the essential metals used were lead, tin and silver
