A function machine is a way of writing rules using a flow diagram. The equation \(3j - 6 = 9\) can be shown on a function machine by writing out the functions that have been applied to \(j\) in the ...

Earlier this year, Mathematician Ian Stewart came out with an excellent and deeply researched book titled "In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World" that takes a look at the most ...

A function machine is a way of writing rules using a flow diagram. The equation \(3h - 6 = 9\) can be shown on a function machine by writing out the functions that have been applied to \(h\) in the ...

To mathematicians, equations are art. Just as many are moved by a painting or piece of music, to those who appreciate and understand math, expressions of numbers, variables, operations and relations ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 43, No. 6 (Dec., 1983), pp. 1259-1273 (15 pages) A constructive algorithm is developed to determine whether or not a given linear p.d.e. can be mapped into a ...
