Excel can solve equations through several of its mathematical functions, but the single Excel tool that works on the largest variety of equations is the program's Solver Add-in. This tool reads an ...

A function machine is a way of writing rules using a flow diagram. The equation \(3h - 6 = 9\) can be shown on a function machine by writing out the functions that have been applied to \(h\) in the ...

Solving an equation means finding the value or values for which the two expressions on each side of the equals sign are equal. One of the most common methods used to solve equations is the balance ...

This study is an attempt to analyze students' construction of function based problem solving methods in introductory algebra. It claims that for functions to be a main concept for learning school ...

This article describes three approximation methods I used to solve the growth model (Model 1) studied by the National Bureau of Economic Research's nonlinear rational-expectations-modeling group ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...
