  2. Sextic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sextic_equation

    Watt's curve, which arose in the context of early work on the steam engine, is a sextic in two variables.. One method of solving the cubic equation involves transforming variables to obtain a sextic equation having terms only of degrees 6, 3, and 0, which can be solved as a quadratic equation in the cube of the variable.

    Plot of normalized ⁡ function (i.e. ⁡ ()) with its spectral frequency components.. The unitary Fourier transforms of the rectangular function are [2] ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ (), using ordinary frequency f, where is the normalized form [10] of the sinc function and ⁡ = ⁡ (/) / = ⁡ (/), using angular frequency , where is the unnormalized form of the sinc function.

  4. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia.

    An a × b rectangle can be packed with 1 × n strips if and only if n divides a or n divides b. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] de Bruijn's theorem : A box can be packed with a harmonic brick a × a b × a b c if the box has dimensions a p × a b q × a b c r for some natural numbers p , q , r (i.e., the box is a multiple of the brick.)

  6. Algebraic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_curve

    An algebraic curve in the Euclidean plane is the set of the points whose coordinates are the solutions of a bivariate polynomial equation p(x, y) = 0.This equation is often called the implicit equation of the curve, in contrast to the curves that are the graph of a function defining explicitly y as a function of x.

  7. Simpson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rule

    In the task of estimation of full area of narrow peak-like functions, Simpson's rules are much less efficient than trapezoidal rule. Namely, composite Simpson's 1/3 rule requires 1.8 times more points to achieve the same accuracy as trapezoidal rule. [ 7 ]

    In two-dimensional space, the lowest order Raviart Thomas space, , has degrees of freedom on the edges of the elements of the finite element mesh. The n {\displaystyle n} th edge has an associated basis function defined by [ 3 ]

  9. Moving sofa problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_sofa_problem

    The area thus obtained is referred to as the sofa constant. The exact value of the sofa constant is an open problem. The leading solution, by Joseph L. Gerver, has a value of approximately 2.2195. In November 2024, Jineon Baek posted an arXiv preprint claiming that Gerver's value is optimal, which if true would solve the moving sofa problem. [2]
