Isometric projection and net of naive (1) and optimal (2) solutions of the spider and the fly problem. The spider and the fly problem is a recreational mathematics problem with an unintuitive solution, asking for a shortest path or geodesic between two points on the surface of a cuboid. It was originally posed by Henry Dudeney.
A trivial example. In mathematics, the mountain climbing problem is a mathematical problem that considers a two-dimensional mountain range (represented as a continuous function), and asks whether it is possible for two mountain climbers starting at sea level on the left and right sides of the mountain to meet at the summit, while maintaining equal altitudes at all times.
In mathematics, an operation is a function from a set to itself. For example, an operation on real numbers will take in real numbers and return a real number. An operation can take zero or more input values (also called "operands" or "arguments") to a well-defined output value. The number of operands is the arity of the operation.
Some programming languages treat integer division as in case 5 above, so the answer is an integer. Other languages, such as MATLAB and every computer algebra system return a rational number as the answer, as in case 3 above. These languages also provide functions to get the results of the other cases, either directly or from the result of case 3.
The P versus NP problem is a major unsolved problem in theoretical computer science.Informally, it asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified can also be quickly solved.
The New York Jets have once again been eliminated from the NFL playoff picture, pushing their league-worst drought to 14 seasons.
MINEOLA, N.Y. — A Republican official who oversees Nassau County on New York's Long Island has seemingly refused to lower flags to half-staff in memory of the late Democratic President Jimmy ...
More importantly, the 28-year-old is averaging 46.1 receiving yards per game, a career-low, and hasn't been much of a factor in the rushing attack either, averaging 2.9 yards per carry, also a ...
