  2. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

    The skill at choosing an appropriate strategy is best learned by solving many problems. You will find choosing a strategy increasingly easy. A partial list of strategies is included: Guess and check [9] Make an orderly list [10] Eliminate possibilities [11] Use symmetry [12] Consider special cases [13] Use direct reasoning; Solve an equation ...

  3. Mathematical visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_visualization

    Mathematical visualization is used throughout mathematics, particularly in the fields of geometry and analysis. Notable examples include plane curves , space curves , polyhedra , ordinary differential equations , partial differential equations (particularly numerical solutions, as in fluid dynamics or minimal surfaces such as soap films ...

  4. Combinatorial game theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_game_theory

    Essentially, combinatorial game theory has contributed new methods for analyzing game trees, for example using surreal numbers, which are a subclass of all two-player perfect-information games. [3] The type of games studied by combinatorial game theory is also of interest in artificial intelligence , particularly for automated planning and ...

    For example, one strategy is to start with an ansatz (or an educated guess) of the final metric, and refine it until it is specific enough to support a coordinate system but still general enough to yield a set of simultaneous differential equations with unknowns that can be solved for.

  6. Relationship between mathematics and physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_between...

    The relationship between mathematics and physics has been a subject of study of philosophers, mathematicians and physicists since antiquity, and more recently also by historians and educators. [2] Generally considered a relationship of great intimacy, [ 3 ] mathematics has been described as "an essential tool for physics" [ 4 ] and physics has ...

  7. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    There is no general consensus about the definition of mathematics or its epistemological status—that is, its place inside knowledge. A great many professional mathematicians take no interest in a definition of mathematics, or consider it undefinable. There is not even consensus on whether mathematics is an art or a science.

  8. Physics envy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_envy

    This framework holds that a firm must evaluate the environment in order to set up its structure that will implement strategies. [10] Chandler also maintained that there is close connection "between mathematics, physics, and engineering graduates and the systemizing of the business strategy paradigm". [10]

  9. Perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory

    In mathematics and applied mathematics, perturbation theory comprises methods for finding an approximate solution to a problem, by starting from the exact solution of a related, simpler problem. [1] [2] A critical feature of the technique is a middle step that breaks the problem into "solvable" and "perturbative" parts. [3]
