Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 32, No. 144 (Oct., 1978), pp. 1183-1213 (31 pages) This paper furnishes two classes of methods for calculating the best approximate solution of an operator equation in ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

A number theorist with programming prowess has found a solution to 33 = x³ + y³ + z³, a much-studied equation that went unsolved for 64 years. Now, Andrew Booker, a mathematician at the University of ...
