  2. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields.

  3. Related rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Related_rates

    The most common way to approach related rates problems is the following: [2] Identify the known variables , including rates of change and the rate of change that is to be found. (Drawing a picture or representation of the problem can help to keep everything in order)

  4. Hundred Fowls Problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Fowls_Problem

    Pigeons are sold at the rate of 5 for 3, sarasa-birds at the rate of 7 for 5, swans at the rate of 9 for 7, and peacocks at the rate of 3 for 9 (panas). A certain man was told to bring 100 birds for 100 panas. What does he give for each of the various kinds of birds he buys? The Bakshali manuscript gives the problem of solving the following ...

  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. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    A sequence of approximate grid solutions () of some problem that converges to a true solution with a corresponding sequence of regular grid spacings () that converge to 0 is said to have asymptotic order of convergence and asymptotic rate of convergence if

  7. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    This allowed him to derive a reusable iterative expression for each problem. Finally, in 1740, Thomas Simpson described Newton's method as an iterative method for solving general nonlinear equations using calculus, essentially giving the description above. In the same publication, Simpson also gives the generalization to systems of two ...

  9. Trial and error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error

    In elementary algebra, when solving equations, it is called guess and check. [citation needed] This approach can be seen as one of the two basic approaches to problem-solving, contrasted with an approach using insight and theory.
