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 ...

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 ...

Linear graphs are straight-line graphs that visually represent a constant rate of change in the relationship between two variables, showing how one changes in response to the other. They are expressed ...

Linear functions are fundamental building blocks in mathematics and play a key role in solving real-world problems where the rate of change remains constant. Linear functions arise in a wide range of ...

The linear function is popular in economics. It is attractive because it is simple and easy to handle mathematically. It has many important applications. Linear functions are those whose graph is a ...
