I can find the best-fit polynomial function for the array, y = ax^2 + bx + c (where y = voltage output and x = incident temperature), and if I have arrays of data at flat fields captured at known T0, ...

The purpose of all of the developmental mathematics courses is to support student success academically and beyond by advancing critical thinking and reasoning skills. Specifically in Algebra II, as a ...

We solve polynomials algebraically in order to determine the roots - where a curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. A root of a polynomial function, \(f(x)\), is a value for \(x\) for which \(f(x) = 0\).

Polynomial and special function theory remains a vibrant area of mathematical research, interweaving classical algebra with advanced analysis. At its core, the study concerns algebraic expressions ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the future of learning, work and human development. Okay, we cut a bad deal 20 years ago and it’s time to fix it.

Algorithmic complexity, a cornerstone of theoretical computer science, examines the intrinsic resource requirements of computational problems and the limits of what can be efficiently computed. Within ...

Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 34, No. 150 (Apr., 1980), pp. 441-463 (23 pages) Constructive proofs and several generalizations of approximation results of J. H. Bramble and S. R. Hilbert are ...
