  2. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    The next step is to multiply the above value by the step size , which we take equal to one here: h ⋅ f ( y 0 ) = 1 ⋅ 1 = 1. {\displaystyle h\cdot f(y_{0})=1\cdot 1=1.} Since the step size is the change in t {\displaystyle t} , when we multiply the step size and the slope of the tangent, we get a change in y {\displaystyle y} value.

  3. Initial value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_problem

    In multivariable calculus, an initial value problem [a] (IVP) is an ordinary differential equation together with an initial condition which specifies the value of the unknown function at a given point in the domain. Modeling a system in physics or other sciences frequently amounts to solving an initial value problem.

  4. Casio V.P.A.M. calculators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_V.P.A.M._calculators

    V.P.A.M. is similar to the Direct Algebraic Logic (D.A.L.) used by Sharp in some of their scientific calculators. The fx-82ES introduced by Casio in 2004 was the first calculator to incorporate the Natural Textbook Display (or Natural Display) system. It allowed the display of expressions of fractions, exponents, logarithms, powers and square ...

  5. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    The step size is =. The same illustration for = The midpoint method converges faster than the Euler method, as .. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations are methods used to find numerical approximations to the solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs).

  6. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    A simple fraction (also known as a common fraction or vulgar fraction) [n 1] is a rational number written as a/b or ⁠ ⁠, where a and b are both integers. [9] As with other fractions, the denominator (b) cannot be zero. Examples include ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, − ⁠ 8 / 5 ⁠, ⁠ −8 / 5 ⁠, and ⁠ 8 / −5 ⁠.

  7. Periodic continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_continued_fraction

    By considering the complete quotients of periodic continued fractions, Euler was able to prove that if x is a regular periodic continued fraction, then x is a quadratic irrational number. The proof is straightforward. From the fraction itself, one can construct the quadratic equation with integral coefficients that x must satisfy.

  8. Pell's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell's_equation

    Products of such matrices take exactly the same form, and thus all such products yield solutions to Pell's equation. This can be understood in part to arise from the fact that successive convergents of a continued fraction share the same property: If p k−1 /q k−1 and p k /q k are two successive convergents of a continued fraction, then the ...

  9. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    The computed probability of at least two people sharing the same birthday versus the number of people. In probability theory, the birthday problem asks for the probability that, in a set of n randomly chosen people, at least two will share the same birthday, assuming everybody has a random birthday.
