Revision as of 03:37, 14 March 2007

I took seven courses in calculus and linear algebra while attending university. This subject was, by far, my strongest. This category will contain articles pertaining to the subject of mathematics. I will use this category mainly for my easy reference.

Sub-Categories

CAS and numerical analysis

  • wikipedia:GNU Octave — a free computer program for performing numerical computations which is mostly compatible with MATLAB
  • wikipedia:Mathomatic — a free, portable, general purpose computer algebra system (CAS)

Misc

Note: Sandbox entry

Al-Khwārizmī's method of solving linear and quadratic equations worked by first reducing the equation to one of six standard forms (where b and c are positive integers)

  • squares equal roots (x2 = bx)
  • squares equal number (x2 = c)
  • roots equal number (bx = c)
  • squares and roots equal number (x2 + bx = c)
  • squares and number equal roots (x2 + c = bx)
  • roots and number equal squares (bx + c = x2)

Cool numbers

  • 163
  • Khinchin's constant, K ~2.685252...

Wikipedia related

Wikipedia and its sister project, WikiBooks, have many really good articles on just about everything related to mathematics. I will list some of the best articles (and categories) here:

Other

  • MathWorld — by Wolfram Research
  • The Wolfram Integrator — by Wolfram Research
  • PlanetMath.org — a collaboratively created, virtual community which aims to help make mathematical knowledge more accessible.
  • PlanetPhysics.org — a collaboratively created, virtual community which aims to help make physics knowledge more accessible.
