  2. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    Powder wettability measurement with the Washburn method. In its most general form the Lucas Washburn equation describes the penetration length ( L {\displaystyle L} ) of a liquid into a capillary pore or tube with time t {\displaystyle t} as L = ( D t ) 1 2 {\displaystyle L=(Dt)^{\frac {1}{2}}} , where D {\displaystyle D} is a simplified ...

  3. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    This method was used from the 1980s to the 1990s in BASIC programmable calculators and pocket computers. Texas Instruments would later implement the method in many of its graphing calculators, including the TI-83 and TI-84 Plus series. Most computer algebra systems (CASes) also use this as the default input method.

    is the Diffusion coefficient [2] and is the Source term. [3] A portion of the two dimensional grid used for Discretization is shown below: Graph of 2 dimensional plot. In addition to the east (E) and west (W) neighbors, a general grid node P, now also has north (N) and south (S) neighbors.

  5. Symmetries of Culture: Theory and Practice of Plane Pattern ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetries_of_Culture:...

    Chapters 2 to 6 describe how to identify and classify patterns on cultural objects such as ceramics, textiles and surface designs. Chapter 2 establishes the mathematical tools required to perform the symmetry analysis of patterns. Chapter 3 introduces the concept of color symmetry, for two-colored and multicolored patterns.

  6. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test

    Note that in the one-variable case, the Hessian condition simply gives the usual second derivative test. In the two variable case, (,) and (,) are the principal minors of the Hessian. The first two conditions listed above on the signs of these minors are the conditions for the positive or negative definiteness of the Hessian.

  7. Relaxation (iterative method) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(iterative_method)

    Relaxation methods are used to solve the linear equations resulting from a discretization of the differential equation, for example by finite differences. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Iterative relaxation of solutions is commonly dubbed smoothing because with certain equations, such as Laplace's equation , it resembles repeated application of a local ...

  8. 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.

  9. Approximation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximation_theory

    For example, one can tell from looking at the graph that the point at −0.1 should have been at about −0.28. The way to do this in the algorithm is to use a single round of Newton's method . Since one knows the first and second derivatives of P ( x ) − f ( x ) , one can calculate approximately how far a test point has to be moved so that ...
