Title: Re: Suggestions about mathematics Post by: savio on Oct 19, 2012 A mathematical algorithm is a set of instructions that direct how a mathematical calculation should be done or performed. Algorithms are the basis by which computer programming is done. They outline all the steps that are to be followed in order to execute a specific command input into the computer. So, in other words, it's a way a computer is designed to think. For instance, if a computer were asked to evaluate this:
(3 + 5)2 + 5 You'd program the computer as such. Does the equation have any brackets? If so, evaluate the numbers inside the brackets. If not, begin to evaluate the expression by looking for numbers with exponents. Otherwise, evaluate the operations in the order of multiple, divide, subtract, and add. Have you ever seen a flow chart before? A flow chart is kind of like a visual algorithm. (http://www.schools.manatee.k12.fl.us/webdisk/072JWILLIAMS/Images/factoring_polynomials.gif) |
