This equation is in the standard form of a linear equation: A x + B y = C, where A, B, and C are constants. The variable x is raised to the power of 1. The variable y is raised to the power of 1. The ...

Non-linear physics is the study of systems where the output is not directly proportional to the input. Unlike linear systems, which follow simple, predictable relationships, non-linear systems exhibit ...

A standard digital camera used in a car for stuff like emergency braking has a perceptual latency of a hair above 20 milliseconds. That’s just the time needed for a camera to transform the photons ...

I've been grading calculus exams this week, and even though my students did quite well overall there were a couple of errors that I see every semester. Errors that make mathematicians' heads explode.

This paper considers non-linear programming models in which randomized solutions are allowed. That is, we consider the minimization of the expected value of a non-linear function subject to ...

The commonly-quoted derivation of 3rd harmonic distortion level from the series expansion of the gain function produces an inaccurate result. This is often excused as an inherent artifact of the ...

In January, a team led by Jim Schuck, professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering, developed a method for ...
