  2. Related rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Related_rates

    Construct an equation relating the quantities whose rates of change are known to the quantity whose rate of change is to be found. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to time (or other rate of change). Often, the chain rule is employed at this step. Substitute the known rates of change and the known quantities into the equation.

  3. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    Change of variables is an operation that is related to substitution. However these are different operations, as can be seen when considering differentiation or integration (integration by substitution). A very simple example of a useful variable change can be seen in the problem of finding the roots of the sixth-degree polynomial:

  5. Rate (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a rate is the quotient of two quantities, often represented as a fraction. [1] If the divisor (or fraction denominator) in the rate is equal to one expressed as a single unit, and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically (i.e., is an independent variable), then the dividend (the fraction numerator) of the rate expresses the corresponding rate of change ...

  6. Vasicek model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasicek_model

    A trajectory of the short rate and the corresponding yield curves at T=0 (purple) and two later points in time. In finance, the Vasicek model is a mathematical model describing the evolution of interest rates. It is a type of one-factor short-rate model as it describes interest rate movements as driven by only one source of market risk.

  7. Bateman equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bateman_equation

    The Bateman equation is a classical master equation where the transition rates are only allowed from one species (i) to the next (i+1) but never in the reverse sense (i+1 to i is forbidden). Bateman found a general explicit formula for the amounts by taking the Laplace transform of the variables.

  8. Relative change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_change

    A percentage change is a way to express a change in a variable. It represents the relative change between the old value and the new one. [6]For example, if a house is worth $100,000 today and the year after its value goes up to $110,000, the percentage change of its value can be expressed as = = %.

  9. Master equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_equation

    A master equation is a phenomenological set of first-order differential equations describing the time evolution of (usually) the probability of a system to occupy each one of a discrete set of states with regard to a continuous time variable t.
