Linear A is a writing system that was used by the Minoans (Cretans) from 1800 to 1450 BCE to write the hypothesized Minoan language. Linear A was the primary script used in palace and religious writings of the Minoan civilization. It was discovered by archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans. It was succeeded by Linear B, which was used by the Mycenaeans to write an early form of Greek. No texts in Linear A have been deciphered.
The term linear refers to the fact that the script was written by using a stylus to cut lines into a tablet of clay, as opposed to cuneiform, which was written by using a stylus to press wedges into the clay.
Linear A belongs to a group of scripts that evolved independently of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian systems. During the second millennium BCE, there were four major branches: Linear A, Linear B, Cypro-Minoan, and Cretan hieroglyphic. In the 1950s, Linear B was deciphered as Mycenaean Greek. Linear B shares many symbols with Linear A, and they may notate similar syllabic values. But neither those nor any other proposed readings lead to a language that scholars can read. The only part of the script that can be read with any certainty is the signs for numbers—which are, however, only known as numerical values; the words for those numbers remain unknown.
I am doing an investigation of how much a beam sags, based on the distance from its midpoint.
This is my hypothetical equation:
The relationship between distance, d and sag, s is not a linear relationship. Below, is the determined relationship between the variables, linearized by natural...
By using the laplace transform:
$f(t)=sin(Φ(t))$
I want it in the form:
F(S)/Φ(S)
The purpose is to linearize it in order to put it into a larger transfer function, so far my only solution is to simplify it using taylor expansion.

I am linearizing a vector equation using the first order taylor series expansion. I would like to linearize the equation with respect to both the magnitude of the vector and the direction of the vector.
Does that mean I will have to treat it as a Taylor expansion about two variables...
Hello!
I'm completing my IB Physics IA and after collecting my data and plotting the raw graph my graph seems to be a negative parabola.
In order to linearize it I though one had to square the x-axis data; however I simply get the same graph shape.
What am I supposed to do?
Only when I plot the...

Is there anyone that can help me about linearization of the equations around x=teta=0 ? It is a bit urgent. I am waiting answer from the calculus experts.
For this system of differential equations
\frac{dx}{dt} = x(0.8 -\frac{0.8x}{3129} - \frac{y}{x+1000})
\frac{dy}{dt} = y(-0.5 + \frac{x}{1000+x})
for all x,y \geq 0
now the equilibrium points are
