Original Blog Entry: The math dilemma

The first is a simple one, do we use the infinite sum of the power series (xn) or the exponential series (exn).

They both do the job, but each has computational problems at very big (n x 10m) and very small (n x 10-m) numbers.

Not all solutions in this involve big or small numbers; sometime, and that's when the result goes wild.

Second is the solution to the general Cubic Equation ax3 + bx2 + cx1 + dx0 = 0.

The roots of the equation involve some imaginary or complex numbers and result in a solution that needs a choice with only real numbers.

Seems the real solution jumps between the roots of x1, x2, and x3.

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

and http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CubicFormula.html

Some our solved equations have the roots as the soltiuon, but it does not remain fix to any one root.

We've been looking for a way to determine much more accurately the outcome from the roots, but it's a very complex solution to work with.
