Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 223 (Oct., 1976), pp. 103-131 (29 pages) This paper demonstrates a Remez exchange algorithm applicable to approximation of real-valued ...

The circumference of a sphere is measured to be 24 cm, with a possible error of 0.25 cm. Use the differential \(dV\) to estimate the maximum error in the calculated ...

Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...
