  2. Implicit function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function

    An implicit function is a function that is defined by an implicit equation, that relates one of the variables, considered as the value of the function, with the others considered as the arguments. [1] : 204–206 For example, the equation of the unit circle defines y as an implicit function of x if −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, and y is restricted to ...

  3. Implicit curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_curve

    Implicit curve as level curves of the surface. In mathematics, an implicit curve is a plane curve defined by an implicit equation relating two coordinate variables, commonly x and y. For example, the unit circle is defined by the implicit equation . In general, every implicit curve is defined by an equation of the form.

  4. Quotient rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_rule

    Calculus. In calculus, the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable functions. [1] [2] [3] Let , where both f and g are differentiable and The quotient rule states that the derivative of h(x) is. It is provable in many ways by using other derivative rules .

  5. Midpoint method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_method

    The explicit midpoint method is sometimes also known as the modified Euler method, the implicit method is the most simple collocation method, and, applied to Hamiltonian dynamics, a symplectic integrator. Note that the modified Euler method can refer to Heun's method, for further clarity see List of Runge–Kutta methods.

  6. Implicit function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function_theorem

    In multivariable calculus, the implicit function theorem [a] is a tool that allows relations to be converted to functions of several real variables. It does so by representing the relation as the graph of a function. There may not be a single function whose graph can represent the entire relation, but there may be such a function on a ...

  7. Backward differentiation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_differentiation...

    The backward differentiation formula ( BDF) is a family of implicit methods for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations. They are linear multistep methods that, for a given function and time, approximate the derivative of that function using information from already computed time points, thereby increasing the accuracy of ...

  8. Trapezoidal rule (differential equations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule...

    Trapezoidal rule (differential equations) In numerical analysis and scientific computing, the trapezoidal rule is a numerical method to solve ordinary differential equations derived from the trapezoidal rule for computing integrals. The trapezoidal rule is an implicit second-order method, which can be considered as both a Runge–Kutta method ...

  9. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folium_of_Descartes

    The folium of Descartes is related to the trisectrix of Maclaurin by affine transformation. To see this, start with the equation. and change variables to find the equation in a coordinate system rotated 45 degrees. This amounts to setting In the plane the equation is. If we stretch the curve in the direction by a factor of this becomes.
