    About this ebook

    Numerical Solution of Systems of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations contains invited lectures of the NSF-CBMS Regional Conference on the Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Algebraic Systems with Applications to Problems in Physics, Engineering and Economics, held on July 10-14, 1972. This book is composed of 10 chapters and begins with the concepts of nonlinear algebraic equations in continuum mechanics. The succeeding chapters deal with the numerical solution of quasilinear elliptic equations, the nonlinear systems in semi-infinite programming, and the solution of large systems of linear algebraic equations. These topics are followed by a survey of some computational techniques for the nonlinear least squares problem. The remaining chapters explore the problem of nonlinear functional minimization, the modification methods, and the computer-oriented algorithms for solving system. These chapters also examine the principles of contractor theory of solving equations. This book will prove useful to undergraduate and graduate students.

      Actually, There Is a Time Like the Present

      Nov 30, 2017

      We’ve all heard it before: There’s no time like the present. Broadly speaking, of course, it means to “seize the opportunity right now,” or maybe in my case, to avoid procrastinating. From a psychological perspective, this makes a lot of sense. As hu

      Memristor Setup Could Make Computer Chips More Efficient

      Jul 31, 2018

      A new way of arranging advanced computer components called memristors on a chip could pave the way for their use in general computing. This could cut energy consumption by a factor of 100. Using memristors would improve performance in low power envir

      In my 50s, too old to become a real expert, I have finally fallen in love with algebraic geometry. As the name suggests, this is the study of geometry using algebra. Around 1637, René Descartes laid the groundwork for this subject by taking a plane,
