In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.
Indeed, if x and y are positive integers satisfying this equation, then x/y is an approximation of √ 2. The numbers x and y appearing in these approximations, called side and diameter numbers, were known to the Pythagoreans, and Proclus observed that in the opposite direction these numbers obeyed one of these two equations.

How to Solve It (1945) is a small volume by mathematician George Pólya, describing methods of problem solving. [1] This book has remained in print continually since ...
A solution in radicals or algebraic solution is an expression of a solution of a polynomial equation that is algebraic, that is, relies only on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to integer powers, and extraction of n th roots (square roots, cube roots, etc.).
Here's the latest projected March Madness bracket, including No. 1 seeds, the last four teams in and the first four out of the NCAA Tournament
$62,591 for Gen X. $52,616 for boomers. For boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964), here’s how a typical annual budget breaks down: $6,196 groceries. $14,260 healthcare. $17,709 housing ...
An urgent hunt is underway for a Wisconsin teen feared to have been abducted by the 40-year-old man who got her pregnant when she snuck away to his home more than 700 miles away in Arkansas.
An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.
