  2. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.

  3. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_(mathematics)

    The equals sign, used to represent equality symbolically in an equation. In mathematics, equality is a relationship between two quantities or expressions, stating that they have the same value, or represent the same mathematical object. [1] [2] Equality between A and B is written A = B, and pronounced "A equals B".

  4. Basel problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

    The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares.It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences. [2]

  5. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    To solve this kind of equation, the technique is add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation by the same number in order to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Once the variable is isolated, the other side of the equation is the value of the variable. [37] This problem and its solution are as follows: Solving for x

  6. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    One may also use Newton's method to solve systems of k equations, which amounts to finding the (simultaneous) zeroes of k continuously differentiable functions :. This is equivalent to finding the zeroes of a single vector-valued function F : R k → R k . {\displaystyle F:\mathbb {R} ^{k}\to \mathbb {R} ^{k}.}

  7. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    A similar but more complicated method works for cubic equations, which have three resolvents and a quadratic equation (the "resolving polynomial") relating ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠, which one can solve by the quadratic equation, and similarly for a quartic equation (degree 4), whose resolving polynomial is a cubic, which can in turn be solved. [14]

  8. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    To describe a set with an infinite number of solutions, typically some of the variables are designated as free (or independent, or as parameters), meaning that they are allowed to take any value, while the remaining variables are dependent on the values of the free variables. For example, consider the following system:

  9. 0.999... - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...

    (also written as 0. 9, 0.., or 0.(9)) is a repeating decimal that is an alternative way of writing the number 1. Following the standard rules for representing numbers in decimal notation, its value is the smallest number greater than or equal to every number in the sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ... .
