  2. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    A line will connect any two points, so a first degree polynomial equation is an exact fit through any two points with distinct x coordinates. If the order of the equation is increased to a second degree polynomial, the following results: = + +. This will exactly fit a simple curve to three points. If the order of the equation is increased to a ...

  3. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    The largest zero of this polynomial which corresponds to the second largest zero of the original polynomial is found at 3 and is circled in red. The degree 5 polynomial is now divided by () to obtain = + + which is shown in yellow. The zero for this polynomial is found at 2 again using Newton's method and is circled in yellow.

  4. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The characteristic equation of a third-order constant coefficients or Cauchy–Euler (equidimensional variable coefficients) linear differential equation or difference equation is a cubic equation. Intersection points of cubic Bézier curve and straight line can be computed using direct cubic equation representing Bézier curve.

  5. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  6. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    The roots, stationary points, inflection point and concavity of a cubic polynomial x 3 − 6x 2 + 9x − 4 (solid black curve) and its first (dashed red) and second (dotted orange) derivatives. The critical points of a cubic function are its stationary points , that is the points where the slope of the function is zero. [ 2 ]

  7. Gaussian quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_quadrature

    As the integrand is the third-degree polynomial y(x) = 7x 3 – 8x 2 – 3x + 3, the 2-point Gaussian quadrature rule even returns an exact result. In numerical analysis , an n -point Gaussian quadrature rule , named after Carl Friedrich Gauss , [ 1 ] is a quadrature rule constructed to yield an exact result for polynomials of degree 2 n − 1 ...

    For example, save $1 in week 1, $2 in week 2 and so forth until you reach $52 in week 52. Some banking apps let you set recurring transfers with varying amounts, or set a reminder. Consider using ...

  9. Muller's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muller's_method

    Muller's method fits a parabola, i.e. a second-order polynomial, to the last three obtained points f(x k-1), f(x k-2) and f(x k-3) in each iteration. One can generalize this and fit a polynomial p k,m (x) of degree m to the last m+1 points in the k th iteration. Our parabola y k is written as p k,2 in this notation. The degree m must be 1 or
