Linear interpolation refers to the straight lines connecting any geometric coordinates together. Linear interpolation is used to keep track of ordered coordinates and analyze a given space’s total area and perimeter. While linear interpolation can be used to determine the exact angles of two or more coordinates, it is rarely used in practical applications. However, linear interpolation is often used in situations that require accurate measurements of a given space.   How Linear Interpolation Works Linear interpolation is determined by the equations:         Where the first equation Read More

Linear regression is a method used in statistics to model relationships between a single, scalar variable and one or more other variables. In the linear regression method, a model is estimated for the unknown parameters from the existing data using linear functions. These models are referred to as “linear models.” Linear regression can also refer to a model in which some median of the conditional distribution of a variable, given a condition, is expressed as a linear function. Similar to other forms of regression, the linear regression application focuses on Read More

A Karnaugh map is a graphical method or shortcut that can be used to solve Boolean algebra problems. Boolean algebra is used to conduct computations and create expressions from two values. This type of math creates the basis behind much of computer science and modern circuit card design today. Maurice Karnaugh created the current version of the Karnaugh map in the early 1950s to solve logic problems without having to use long computations. What do Karnaugh Maps Do? Karnaugh maps solve problems through pattern recognition, not computation. They shift the Read More

At its most general meaning, “binary” refers to any system composed of two elements. For example, a binary star system is a system in which there are two stars that orbit each other. Binary is also a numbering system that is comparable to our standard decimal system. The decimal system uses 10 digits; 0 through 9, and is referred to as a base-10 system. The binary system only has two digits, 0 and 1, so is referred to as a base-2 system. Binary in Computing Binary is essential to the Read More
