  2. Tower of Hanoi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Hanoi

    For one disk, the graph is a triangle: The graph for two disks is three triangles connected to form the corners of a larger triangle. A second letter is added to represent the larger disk. Clearly, it cannot initially be moved. The topmost small triangle now represents the one-move possibilities with two disks:

  3. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    This plot shows a restricted y axis: some x values produce intermediates as high as 2.7 × 10 7 (for x = 9663) The same plot as the previous one but on log scale, so all y values are shown. The first thick line towards the middle of the plot corresponds to the tip at 27, which reaches a maximum at 9232.

  4. Mathematics of Sudoku - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_Sudoku

    The general problem of solving Sudoku puzzles on n 2 ×n 2 grids of n×n blocks is known to be NP-complete. [8] A puzzle can be expressed as a graph coloring problem. [9] The aim is to construct a 9-coloring of a particular graph, given a partial 9-coloring. The Sudoku graph has 81 vertices, one vertex for each cell.

  5. CW complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CW_complex

    The product of two CW complexes can be made into a CW complex. Specifically, if X and Y are CW complexes, then one can form a CW complex X × Y in which each cell is a product of a cell in X and a cell in Y, endowed with the weak topology. The underlying set of X × Y is then the Cartesian product of X and Y, as expected.

  6. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of two or more linear equations involving the same variables. [1][2] For example, is a system of three equations in the three variables x, y, z. A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such that all the equations are simultaneously ...

  7. Implicit curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_curve

    Implicit curve as level curves of the surface. In mathematics, an implicit curve is a plane curve defined by an implicit equation relating two coordinate variables, commonly x and y. For example, the unit circle is defined by the implicit equation . In general, every implicit curve is defined by an equation of the form.

  8. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    A linear function is a polynomial function in which the variable x has degree at most one: [2] . Such a function is called linear because its graph, the set of all points in the Cartesian plane, is a line. The coefficient a is called the slope of the function and of the line (see below). If the slope is , this is a constant function defining a ...

  9. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    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. The solutions of this equation are called roots of the cubic function defined by the left-hand side of the equation. If all of the coefficients a, b, c, and d of the cubic ...
