2. Halley's method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_method

   Halley's method. In numerical analysis, Halley's method is a root-finding algorithm used for functions of one real variable with a continuous second derivative. Edmond Halley was an English mathematician and astronomer who introduced the method now called by his name. The algorithm is second in the class of Householder's methods, after Newton's ...

3. Cube root - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

   Cube root. In mathematics, a cube root of a number x is a number y such that y3 = x. All nonzero real numbers have exactly one real cube root and a pair of complex conjugate cube roots, and all nonzero complex numbers have three distinct complex cube roots. For example, the real cube root of 8, denoted , is 2, because 23 = 8, while the other ...

4. Mulch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulch

   A mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of soil. Reasons for applying mulch include conservation of soil moisture, improving fertility and health of the soil, reducing weed growth, and enhancing the visual appeal of the area. A mulch is usually, but not exclusively, organic in nature.

5. Cube root law - Wikipedia

   The cube root law is an observation in political science that the number of members of a unicameral legislature, or of the lower house of a bicameral legislature, is about the cube root of the population being represented. [1] The rule was devised by Estonian political scientist Rein Taagepera in his 1972 paper "The size of national assemblies".

7. Travelling salesman problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

   The problem has been shown to be NP-hard (more precisely, it is complete for the complexity class FP NP; see function problem), and the decision problem version ("given the costs and a number x, decide whether there is a round-trip route cheaper than x") is NP-complete. The bottleneck travelling salesman problem is also NP-hard.
