    • 12 Pages

    While the ultimate goal is the same‚ to determine the value(s) that hold true for the equation‚ solving quadratic equations requires much more than simply isolating the variable‚ as is required in solving linear equations. This piece will outline the different types of quadratic equations‚ strategies for solving each type‚ as well as other methods of solutions such as Completing the Square and using the Quadratic Formula. Knowledge of factoring perfect square trinomials and simplifying radical expression

    7 Ordinary Differential Equations Matlab has several different functions for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. This chapter describes the simplest of these functions and then compares all of the functions for efficiency‚ accuracy‚ and special features. Stiffness is a subtle concept that plays an important role in these comparisons. 7.1 Integrating Differential Equations The initial value problem for an ordinary differential equation involves finding a function

    BERNOULLI AND ENERGY E Q U AT I O N S his chapter deals with two equations commonly used in fluid mechanics: the Bernoulli equation and the energy equation. The Bernoulli equation is concerned with the conservation of kinetic‚ potential‚ and flow energies of a fluid stream‚ and their conversion to each other in regions of flow where net viscous forces are negligible‚ and where other restrictive conditions apply. The energy equation is a statement of the conservation of energy principle and is applicable

    Band broadening theory (Van Deemter equation) It is well recognized now that column band broadening originates from three main sources: 1. multiple path of an analyte through the column packing; 2. molecular diffusion; 3. effect of mass transfer between phases. In 1956 J.J. Van Deemter introduced the equation which combined all three sources and represented them as the dependence of the theoretical plate height (HETP) on the mobile phase linear velocity. Originally‚ it was introduced for gas

    Heat Equation from Partial Differential Equations An Introduction (Strauss) These notes were written based on a number of courses I taught over the years in the U.S.‚ Greece and the U.K. They form the core material for an undergraduate course on Markov chains in discrete time. There are‚ of course‚ dozens of good books on the topic. The only new thing here is that I give emphasis to probabilistic methods as soon as possible. Also‚ I introduce stationarity before even talking about state classification

    statements are based on the accounting equation. This equation presents the resources of a company and the claims to those resources. Assets are economic resources that are expected to produce a benefit in the Future Liabilities are outsider claims. They are debts that are payable to outsiders‚ called creditors. Owners’ equity (also called capital or stockholders equity for a corporation) represents the insider claims of a business. The accounting equation shows the relationship among assets‚ liabilities
