  2. Optimal solutions for the Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_solutions_for_the...

    The cube restricted to only 6 edges, not looking at the corners nor at the other edges. The cube restricted to the other 6 edges. Clearly the number of moves required to solve any of these subproblems is a lower bound for the number of moves needed to solve the entire cube. Given a random cube C, it is solved as iterative deepening. First all ...

  3. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, Newton's method, also known as the Newton–Raphson method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real -valued function. The most basic version starts with a real-valued ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

    Genre. Mathematics, problem solving. Publication date. 1945. ISBN. 9780691164076. How to Solve It (1945) is a small volume by mathematician George Pólya, describing methods of problem solving. [1] This book has remained in print continually since 1945.

  6. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Cubic equation. Graph of a cubic function with 3 real roots (where the curve crosses the horizontal axis at y = 0 ). The case shown has two critical points. Here the function is and therefore the three real roots are 2, -1 and -4. In algebra, a cubic equation in one variable is an equation of the form in which a is not zero.

  7. Initial value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_problem

    Initial value problem. In multivariable calculus, an initial value problem[a] (IVP) is an ordinary differential equation together with an initial condition which specifies the value of the unknown function at a given point in the domain. Modeling a system in physics or other sciences frequently amounts to solving an initial value problem.

  8. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    t. e. In mathematics, separation of variables (also known as the Fourier method) is any of several methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, in which algebra allows one to rewrite an equation so that each of two variables occurs on a different side of the equation.

  9. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    Rational root theorem. In algebra, the rational root theorem (or rational root test, rational zero theorem, rational zero test or p/q theorem) states a constraint on rational solutions of a polynomial equation with integer coefficients and . Solutions of the equation are also called roots or zeros of the polynomial on the left side.
