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 ...

The area \(A\) of a square of side length \(s\) is \(A=s^2\text{.}\) Suppose \(s\) increases by an amount \(\Delta s=ds\text{.}\) Draw a square and then illustrate ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

School of Mathematics and Physics, Jinggangshan University, Ji’an, China. The fundamental problem of approximation theory is to resolve a possibly complicated function, called the target function, by ...

In this paper, we propose a method for finding the best piecewise linearization of nonlinear functions. For this aim, we try to obtain the best approximation of a nonlinear function as a piecewise ...

Abstract: In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the inversion of perfectly electric conductors (PECs), an iterative method based on linear approximation (IMLA) is proposed in this work.

Abstract: Approximate computing has emerged as a promising paradigm to enhance energy efficiency in applications where strict computational accuracy is not essential. In this work, we propose PAS, a ...

We study in detail the log-linear return approximation introduced by Campbell and Shiller (1988a). First, we derive an upper bound for the mean approximation error, given stationarity of the log ...
