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 ...

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 ...

This paper gives explicit rational functions for interpolating and approximating functions on the intervals $\lbrack-1, 1\rbrack, \lbrack0, \infty\rbrack$, and ...

Fuzzy number approximations provide a robust framework for representing and managing uncertainty in quantitative analyses. By generating simplified yet accurate representations of fuzzy ...
