You can use a SOLVE statement to solve the nonlinear equation system for some variables when the values of other variables are given. Consider the demand and supply model shown in the preceding ...

Carpathian Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 31, No. 1 (2015), pp. 11-30 (20 pages) We use the method of recurrent functions to provide a new semilocal convergence analysis for secant-like methods in order ...

In this paper, two new families of eighth-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations are presented. These methods are developed by combining a class of optimal two-point methods and a ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...
