We will discuss these two approximation methods today, and we'll save approximation with higher degree polynomials for Calculus 2.\n\nOf course, it's kind of silly to do linear or quadratic ...

A python implementation of the algorithm used to generate optimal piecewise linear approximations of convex functions proposed by Imamoto and Tang [1]. The algorithm uses an iterative search to find ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 223 (Oct., 1976), pp. 103-131 (29 pages) This paper demonstrates a Remez exchange algorithm applicable to approximation of real-valued ...
