  2. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    An illustration of the five-point stencil in one and two dimensions (top, and bottom, respectively). In numerical analysis, given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the five-point stencil of a point in the grid is a stencil made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors".

  3. Differentiable curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_curve

    The parameter t in γ(t) can be thought of as representing time, and γ the trajectory of a moving point in space. When I is a closed interval [a,b], γ(a) is called the starting point and γ(b) is the endpoint of γ. If the starting and the end points coincide (that is, γ(a) = γ(b)), then γ is a closed curve or a loop.

  4. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  5. Stencil (numerical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil_(numerical_analysis)

    The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. In mathematics, especially the areas of numerical analysis concentrating on the numerical solution of partial differential equations, a stencil is a geometric arrangement of a nodal group that relate to the point of interest by using a numerical approximation routine.

  6. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation

    A simple two-point estimation is to compute the slope of a nearby secant line through the points (x, f(x)) and (x + h, f(x + h)). [1] Choosing a small number h , h represents a small change in x , and it can be either positive or negative.

  7. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    Left to right steps indicate addition whereas right to left steps indicate subtraction; If the slope of a step is positive, the term to be used is the product of the difference and the factor immediately below it. If the slope of a step is negative, the term to be used is the product of the difference and the factor immediately above it.

    She also points out that ingesting perfluorohexanoic acid is more likely to harm your health than wearing it on your skin. Still, that doesn’t mean these bands are harmless.

    The points where this is not true are determined by a condition on the derivative of f. The circle, for instance, can be pasted together from the graphs of the two functions ± √ 1 - x 2. In a neighborhood of every point on the circle except (−1, 0) and (1, 0), one of these two
