• What number raised to itself is equal to 1/2?

  Graphing x^x on desmos.com makes it look as though the value is always greater than 1/2. Source: 10 months ago

• Data Visualization: Sustainable Throughput Per Freight Car

  =) I've posted a link to the desmos.com page with the data that used to create the graph above in the first reply to the post. =). Source: 10 months ago

• How to check points of non differentiability and discontinuity of a given function in ?

  It might help to graph the function, for example using desmos.com. Source: 11 months ago

• How did you check your homework if it’s ungraded and there’s no answer key?

  Many answers can be checked numerically, even if only for a special case. There are also some sites that will solve certain types of problems, for example https://www.integral-calculator.com/. Graphing also sometimes helps, desmos.com. Source: 11 months ago

• For the regions bounded by y = 6cosx and y= 1/4x^2 -7

  It might clarify your thinking to plot the two curves on desmos.com. You can also use the plots to check your work. Source: 11 months ago

• [Advanced mathematics higher degree inequalities and equations]

  Now, if you're doing it for real, the best and also most common method is simply, "use a computer". Many computer systems are really, really good at solving these equations and inequalities. You can also graph it and see on the graph every time it crosses zero. You can even do it for free without fancy software. There are a lot of web calculators that can do it, but one options is using wolframalpha.com. Source: 5 months ago

• How can Computers be used for mathematical applications when floats make them so inaccurate?

  This is how the functionality of scientific calculators and tools like MATLAB and WolframAlpha is implemented. Source: 5 months ago

• What are your favorite high-school level problems (olympiads etc)

  Go to wolframalpha.com, and ask it to evaluate. Source: 10 months ago

• Online Calculator for solving x in polynomial equation

  Do not go for a "one-use" calculator... Go for something that does it all if you know what you're doing. Go to wolframalpha.com. Source: 11 months ago

• Overview of the most useful probability distributions (using Logseq's Whiteboards)

  Some context: - Each "Card" you see is a reference to a block inside a big page called "Remarkable distributions". That page also contains more details (proofs, notable properties, ...) about each distribution. - The plots are generated using wolframalpha.com. I can just type "normal distribution" and I get a nice plot with different variations of the distribution's parameters. Source: 11 months ago
