  2. Paper bag problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_bag_problem

    A cushion filled with stuffing. In geometry, the paper bag problem or teabag problem is to calculate the maximum possible inflated volume of an initially flat sealed rectangular bag which has the same shape as a cushion or pillow, made out of two pieces of material which can bend but not stretch.

  3. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The formula can be proved as follows: Starting from the equation t 3 + pt + q = 0, let us set t = u cos θ. The idea is to choose u to make the equation coincide with the identity 4 cos 3 ⁡ θ − 3 cos ⁡ θ − cos ⁡ ( 3 θ ) = 0. {\displaystyle 4\cos ^{3}\theta -3\cos \theta -\cos(3\theta )=0.}

  4. Finite volume method for two dimensional diffusion problem

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_volume_method_for...

    We obtain the distribution of the property i.e. a given two dimensional situation by writing discretized equations of the form of equation (3) at each grid node of the subdivided domain. At the boundaries where the temperature or fluxes are known the discretized equation are modified to incorporate the boundary conditions .

  5. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  6. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    The solutions of this equation are the x-values of the critical points and are given, using the quadratic formula, by =. The sign of the expression Δ 0 = b 2 – 3ac inside the square root determines the number of critical points. If it is positive, then there are two critical points, one is a local maximum, and the other is a local minimum.

  7. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    The fact that the volume of any pyramid, regardless of the shape of the base, including cones (circular base), is (1/3) × base × height, can be established by Cavalieri's principle if one knows only that it is true in one case. One may initially establish it in a single case by partitioning the interior of a triangular prism into three ...

  8. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid

    Simplifying the above formula using properties of R G, [5] this can also be expressed in terms of the volume of the ellipsoid V: = (,,). Unlike the expression with F(φ, k) and E(φ, k), the equations in terms of R G do not depend on the choice of an order on a, b, and c.

  9. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    The solution set of a given set of equations or inequalities is the set of all its solutions, a solution being a tuple of values, one for each unknown, that satisfies all the equations or inequalities. If the solution set is empty, then there are no values of the unknowns that satisfy simultaneously all equations and inequalities.
