  2. Numerical error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_error

    The second, usually called Truncation error, is the difference between the exact mathematical solution and the approximate solution obtained when simplifications are made to the mathematical equations to make them more amenable to calculation.

  3. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraneous_and_missing...

    In mathematics, an extraneous solution (or spurious solution) is one which emerges from the process of solving a problem but is not a valid solution to it. [1] A missing solution is a valid one which is lost during the solution process.

  4. Microsoft Math Solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Math_Solver

    Microsoft Math contains features that are designed to assist in solving mathematics, science, and tech-related problems, as well as to educate the user. The application features such tools as a graphing calculator and a unit converter. It also includes a triangle solver and an equation solver that provides step-by-step solutions to each problem.

  5. Error function - Wikipedia

    where p = 0.3275911, a 1 = 0.254829592, a 2 = −0.284496736, a 3 = 1.421413741, a 4 = −1.453152027, a 5 = 1.061405429 All of these approximations are valid for x ≥ 0 . To use these approximations for negative x , use the fact that erf x is an odd function, so erf x = −erf(− x ) .

  6. Numerical solution of the convection–diffusion equation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_solution_of_the...

    This article describes how to use a computer to calculate an approximate numerical solution of the discretized equation, in a time-dependent situation. In order to be concrete, this article focuses on heat flow, an important example where the convection–diffusion equation applies. However, the same mathematical analysis works equally well to ...

  7. Method of matched asymptotic expansions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_matched...

    In mathematics, the method of matched asymptotic expansions [1] is a common approach to finding an accurate approximation to the solution to an equation, or system of equations. It is particularly used when solving singularly perturbed differential equations. It involves finding several different approximate solutions, each of which is valid (i ...

  8. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

    Can you vary or change your problem to create a new problem (or set of problems) whose solution(s) will help you solve your original problem? Search: Auxiliary Problem: Can you find a subproblem or side problem whose solution will help you solve your problem? Subgoal: Here is a problem related to yours and solved before

  9. Verhoeff algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verhoeff_algorithm

    This is actually a single permutation (1 5 8 9 4 2 7 0)(3 6) applied iteratively; i.e. p(i+j,n) = p(i, p(j,n)). The Verhoeff checksum calculation is performed as follows: Create an array n out of the individual digits of the number, taken from right to left (rightmost digit is n 0 , etc.).
