Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

Liouville's formula for certain class of linear operator equations of order n is derived. The result is applied to solving a linear second order operator equation. A number of examples which ...

The ubiquitous ball spline. Basically, it is a type of mechanical element used in a variety of industrial applications where precise movement and alignment is required, like machine tools, robot arms ...

The purpose of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) is to foster the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability. The Institute was formed at a ...

I'm planning my next semester and am wanting to take Linear Algebra and Differential equations and need to know if there is anything I need to brush up on for either class. A lot of my friends are ...

Certain electromagnetic devices such as differential transformers are effective at translating the displacement of a magnetic armature into an AC voltage, which is a linear function of the ...
