Finding the odd point in a dataset without using loops
I am given a set of points (p1,q1) (p2,q2) ... (p20,q20) which satisfy the function q = 1/(ap + b)^2 except that one of these does not satisfy the given relation. The values of a and b are not given to me. All I have with me is two inputs p and q as…

What is the best way to solve a system of linear equations with infinite solutions?
I want to solve a system of linear equations (SLE, Ax=b, where A consists out of 8 rows and columns) but this system will always have infinite solutions. Many people refer to Eigen, when it comes down to solving system of linear equations.
However,…

Eliminate a variable to relate two functions in Python using SymPy
I have two equations that are parametrized by a variable "t". These look like:
X = p(t)
Y = q(t)
where p and q are polynomials in t. I want to use Python's SymPy library to eliminate the t variable and express Y = F(X) for some function X. I have…

Model complex equation in R
I have the following model:
which I've coded in R as:
function(t,C,Ao,s,wd,ph) C + Ao * exp(-s*t) * cos(wd*t + ph)
I want to use this equation to form a predictive model.
However, I can't figure out how to either successfully run or plot this…

Cannot get SageMath to solve simultaneous equations
I will provide some context on the problem if necessary. I've thought about this problem, but cannot seem to see why SageMath wont solve it. I am asking this question here as I think it has more a place here than the mathematics StackExchange.
When…

Haskell equation solving in the real numbers
I've just started playing with GHCi. I see that list generators basically solve an equation within a given set:
Prelude> [x | x <- [1..20], x^2 == 4]
[2]
(finds only one root, as expected)
Now, why can't I solve equations with results in ℝ, given…

Solving a system of equations in R
I want to solve the following system of equations for b,c and d:
1 = b² + 6bd + 2c² + 15d²
1.75 = 2c(b² + 24bd + 105d² +2)
3.75 = d²(12 + 48bd + 141c² + d²)
Is there a general way to solve such systems of equations in R?

Why is (a and (not b)) or (a and b) = a?
I reached the end of a pretty long Boolean simplification, where I was supposed to prove that something = a. I reached a point (a and (not b)) or (a and b). Any further reorganization of the equation did not bring me further. But using a Truth tabel…
