  2. Cremona diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremona_diagram

    The Cremona diagram, also known as the Cremona-Maxwell method, is a graphical method used in statics of trusses to determine the forces in members (graphic statics). The method was developed by the Italian mathematician Luigi Cremona .

  3. Linear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming

    While algorithms exist to solve linear programming in weakly polynomial time, such as the ellipsoid methods and interior-point techniques, no algorithms have yet been found that allow strongly polynomial-time performance in the number of constraints and the number of variables. The development of such algorithms would be of great theoretical ...

  4. Nomogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomogram

    Results from a nomogram are obtained very quickly and reliably by simply drawing one or more lines. The user does not have to know how to solve algebraic equations, look up data in tables, use a slide rule, or substitute numbers into equations to obtain results. The user does not even need to know the underlying equation the nomogram represents.

  5. Iterative method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

    In contrast, direct methods attempt to solve the problem by a finite sequence of operations. In the absence of rounding errors , direct methods would deliver an exact solution (for example, solving a linear system of equations A x = b {\displaystyle A\mathbf {x} =\mathbf {b} } by Gaussian elimination ).

    Lill's methodGraphical method for the real roots of a polynomial; MPSolve – Software for approximating the roots of a polynomial with arbitrarily high precision; Multiplicity (mathematics) – Number of times an object must be counted for making true a general formula; n th root algorithm

  7. Transcendental equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_equation

    Graphical solution of sin(x)=ln(x) Approximate numerical solutions to transcendental equations can be found using numerical, analytical approximations, or graphical methods. Numerical methods for solving arbitrary equations are called root-finding algorithms. In some cases, the equation can be well approximated using Taylor series near the zero.

  8. List of graphical methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_graphical_methods

    This is a list of graphical methods with a mathematical basis. Included are diagram techniques, chart techniques, plot techniques, and other forms of visualization . There is also a list of computer graphics and descriptive geometry topics .

  9. Statistical graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_graphics

    Graphical statistical methods have four objectives: [2] The exploration of the content of a data set; The use to find structure in data; Checking assumptions in statistical models; Communicate the results of an analysis. If one is not using statistical graphics, then one is forfeiting insight into one or more aspects of the underlying structure ...
