  2. TK Solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TK_Solver

    TK Solver has three ways of solving systems of equations. The "direct solver" solves a system algebraically by the principle of consecutive substitution. When multiple rules contain multiple unknowns, the program can trigger an iterative solver which uses the Newton–Raphson algorithm to successively approximate based on initial guesses for ...

  3. Chessboard paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chessboard_paradox

    The chessboard paradox [1] [2] or paradox of Loyd and Schlömilch [3] is a falsidical paradox based on an optical illusion. A chessboard or a square with a side length of 8 units is cut into four pieces. Those four pieces are used to form a rectangle with side lengths of 13 and 5 units.

    Optical illusion is also used in film by the technique of forced perspective. Op art is a style of art that uses optical illusions to create an impression of movement, or hidden images and patterns. Trompe-l'œil uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that depicted objects exist in three dimensions.

    are equivalent to Newton's equations for the function =, where T is the kinetic, and V the potential energy. In fact, when the substitution is chosen well (exploiting for example symmetries and constraints of the system) these equations are much easier to solve than Newton's equations in Cartesian coordinates.

  6. Checker shadow illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion

    The optical illusion is that the area labeled A appears to be a darker color than the area labeled B. However, within the context of the two-dimensional image, they are of identical brightness, i.e., they would be printed with identical mixtures of ink, or displayed on a screen with pixels of identical color. [1]

    The Hollow-Face illusion is an optical illusion in which the perception of a concave mask of a face appears as a normal convex face. Hybrid image: A Hybrid image is an optical illusion developed at MIT in which an image can be interpreted in one of two different ways depending on viewing distance. Illusory contours

    Kōkichi Sugihara (Japanese: 杉原厚吉, born June 29, 1948, in Gifu Prefecture) [1] [2] is a Japanese mathematician and artist [3] known for his three-dimensional optical illusions that appear to make marbles roll uphill, [4] [5] pull objects to the highest point of a building's roof, [6] and make circular pipes look rectangular.

    Another way of solving the same system of linear equations is by substitution. {+ = = An equivalent for y can be deduced by using one of the two equations. Using the second equation: = Subtracting from each side of the equation:
