Circling The Square: Computing Radical Two, Isaiah Mellace, Joshua Kroeker Jun 2024

Circling The Square: Computing Radical Two, Isaiah Mellace, Joshua Kroeker

NEXUS: The Liberty Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies

Discoveries of equations for irrational numbers are not new. From Newton’s Method to Taylor Series,there are many ways to calculate the square root of two to arbitrary precision. The following method is similar in this way, but it is also a fascinating derivation from geometry that has applications to other irrationals. Additionally, the equation derived has some properties that may lead to fast computation. The first part of this paper is dedicated to deriving the equation, and the second is focused on computer science implementations and optimizations.


Crocheting Mathematics Through Covid-19, Beyza C. Aslan Jul 2021

Crocheting Mathematics Through Covid-19, Beyza C. Aslan

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

As it is often said, something good often comes out of most bad situations. The time I spent during COVID-19, at home and isolated with my two children, brought out one secret passion in me: crocheting. Not only did it help me pass the time in a sane and productive way, but also it gave me a new goal in life. It connected my math side with my artistic side. It gave me a new perspective to look at math, and helped me help others see math in a positive way.


Innovative Approach To Solving Combinatic Elements And Some Problems Of Newton Binomy In School Mathematics Course, Nilufar Okbayeva Mar 2021

Innovative Approach To Solving Combinatic Elements And Some Problems Of Newton Binomy In School Mathematics Course, Nilufar Okbayeva

Central Asian Problems of Modern Science and Education

This article provides information on the elements of combinatorics in the school mathematics course and solutions to some problems related to the Newtonian binomial. This article is also aimed at solving problems related to the indepth study of the elements of combinatorics in the school course, the creation of a sufficient basis for the study of probability theory and mathematical statistics in the future.


Steady State Probabilities In Relation To Eigenvalues, Pellegrino Christopher Jan 2017

Steady State Probabilities In Relation To Eigenvalues, Pellegrino Christopher

The Kabod

By using the methods of Hamdy Taha, eigenvectors can be used in solving problems to compute steady state probabilities, and they work every time.


An Introduction To Fourier Analysis With Applications To Music, Nathan Lenssen, Deanna Needell Jan 2014

An Introduction To Fourier Analysis With Applications To Music, Nathan Lenssen, Deanna Needell

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

In our modern world, we are often faced with problems in which a traditionally analog signal is discretized to enable computer analysis. A fundamental tool used by mathematicians, engineers, and scientists in this context is the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), which allows us to analyze individual frequency components of digital signals. In this paper we develop the discrete Fourier transform from basic calculus, providing the reader with the setup to understand how the DFT can be used to analyze a musical signal for chord structure. By investigating the DFT alongside an application in music processing, we gain an appreciation for …
