Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

Research suggests that word problems might be easier to grasp and more beneficial at the beginning, rather than the end, of a math lesson.

Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 23, No. 108 (Oct., 1969), pp. 787-812 (26 pages) The mathematical and numerical least squares solution of a general linear system of equations is discussed.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

We consider a class of iterative algorithms for solving systems of linear equations where the coefficient matrix is nonsymmetric with positive-definite symmetric part. The algorithms are modelled ...
