  2. Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm_for...

    If x 3 is the remaining fraction after this step of the greedy expansion, it satisfies the equation P 2 (x 3 + ⁠ 1 / 9 ⁠) = 0, which can again be expanded as a polynomial equation with integer coefficients, P 3 (x 3) = 324x 2 3 + 720x 3 − 5 = 0. Continuing this approximation process eventually produces the greedy expansion for the golden ...

  3. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

    By the fundamental theorem of algebra, if the monic polynomial equation x 2 + bx + c = 0 has complex coefficients, it must have two (not necessarily distinct) complex roots. Unfortunately, the discriminant b 2 − 4c is not as useful in this situation, because it may be a complex number. Still, a modified version of the general theorem can be ...

  4. Polynomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_expansion

    In mathematics, an expansion of a product of sums expresses it as a sum of products by using the fact that multiplication distributes over addition. Expansion of a polynomial expression can be obtained by repeatedly replacing subexpressions that multiply two other subexpressions, at least one of which is an addition, by the equivalent sum of products, continuing until the expression becomes a ...

  5. Equating coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equating_coefficients

    The unique pair of values a, b satisfying the first two equations is (a, b) = (1, 1); since these values also satisfy the third equation, there do in fact exist a, b such that a times the original first equation plus b times the original second equation equals the original third equation; we conclude that the third equation is linearly ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

    For example, the fraction is proper, and the fractions + + + and + + are improper. Any improper rational fraction can be expressed as the sum of a polynomial (possibly constant) and a proper rational fraction.

  8. Closed-form expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-form_expression

    The quadratic formula =. is a closed form of the solutions to the general quadratic equation + + =. More generally, in the context of polynomial equations, a closed form of a solution is a solution in radicals; that is, a closed-form expression for which the allowed functions are only n th-roots and field operations (+,,, /).

  9. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians.
