Much scientific research across a range of disciplines tries to find linear approximations of nonlinear behaviors. But what does that mean?

Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

5. Use linear approximation to estimate the value of 3√262. 26 2 3 Express your answer a single fraction (for example, 16 729 16 729).
