Van Schooten's theorem

Van Schooten's theorem, named after the Dutch mathematician Frans van Schooten, describes a property of equilateral triangles. It states: For an equilateral triangle with a point on its circumcircle the length of longest of the three line segments connecting with the vertices of the triangle equals the sum of the lengths of the other two. The theorem is a consequence of Ptolemy's theorem for concyclic quadrilaterals. Let be the side length of the equilateral triangle and the longest line segment. The triangle's vertices together with form a concyclic quadrilateral and hence Ptolemy's theorem yields: Dividing the last equation by delivers Van Schooten's theorem. (Wikipedia).

The Schrodinger Equation is (Almost) Impossible to Solve.

Sure, the equation is easily solvable for perfect / idealized systems, but almost impossible for any real systems. The Schrodinger equation is the governing equation of quantum mechanics, and determines the relationship between a system, its surroundings, and a system's wave function. Th

The Vandermonde Matrix and Polynomial Interpolation

The Vandermonde matrix is a used in the calculation of interpolating polynomials but is more often encountered in the proof that such polynomial interpolates exist. It is also often encountered in the study of determinants since it has a really nice determinant formula. Chapters 0:00 - In
