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 ...

Two effective variance-reduction techniques for estimating probabilities and quantiles in the tails of bootstrap distributions--importance sampling and concomitants of order statistics--are based on ...

Function approximation, a central theme in numerical analysis and applied mathematics, seeks to represent complex functions through simpler or more computationally tractable forms. In this context, ...

I've been grading calculus exams this week, and even though my students did quite well overall there were a couple of errors that I see every semester. Errors that make mathematicians' heads explode.

Transportation Science, Vol. 38, No. 3 (August 2004), pp. 343-356 (14 pages) Bounds and approximate formulae are developed for the average optimum distance of the transportation linear programming ...

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 ...
