  3. Linear differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_differential_equation

    The study of these differential equations with constant coefficients dates back to Leonhard Euler, who introduced the exponential function e x, which is the unique solution of the equation f′ = f such that f(0) = 1. It follows that the n th derivative of e cx is c n e cx, and this allows solving homogeneous linear differential equations ...

  4. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Vertical line of equation x = a Horizontal line of equation y = b. Each solution (x, y) of a linear equation + + = may be viewed as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the Euclidean plane. With this interpretation, all solutions of the equation form a line, provided that a and b are not both zero. Conversely, every line is the set of all ...

  5. XY problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem

    The XY problem is a communication problem encountered in help desk, technical support, software engineering, or customer service situations where the question is about an end user's attempted solution (X) rather than the root problem itself (Y or Why?

  6. Frobenius method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frobenius_method

    Some solutions of a differential equation having a regular singular point with indicial roots = and .. In mathematics, the method of Frobenius, named after Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, is a way to find an infinite series solution for a linear second-order ordinary differential equation of the form ″ + + = with ′ and ″.

  7. Cauchy's functional equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_functional_equation

    Cauchy's functional equation is the functional equation: (+) = + (). A function that solves this equation is called an additive function.Over the rational numbers, it can be shown using elementary algebra that there is a single family of solutions, namely : for any rational constant .

  8. Partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

    In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives.. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to how x is thought of as an unknown number solving, e.g., an algebraic equation like x 2 − 3x + 2 = 0.

  9. Partial derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivative

    The graph and this plane are shown on the right. Below, we see how the function looks on the plane y = 1. By finding the derivative of the equation while assuming that y is a constant, we find that the slope of f at the point (x, y) is: = +. So at (1, 1), by substitution, the slope is 3. Therefore,
