This is the second post (here’s the first one) about an approach to introducing the derivative to calculus students that is counter to what I’ve seen in textbooks and other traditional treatments of ...

In this paper, we propose a method for finding the best piecewise linearization of nonlinear functions. For this aim, we try to obtain the best approximation of a nonlinear function as a piecewise ...

All of these examples will use the following data and imports. fit for specified number of line segments fitfast for specified number of line segments This performs a fit for a specified number of ...

Abstract: It is well-known that solutions to parametric linear or quadratic programs are continuous piecewise affine functions of the parameter. In this paper we prove the converse, i.e. that every ...

Calculus, the mathematical study of continuous change, stands as a cornerstone of advanced mathematics and its applications. As you delve into this powerful branch of mathematics, you’ll discover a ...
