  2. Scheme of work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_of_work

    A scheme of work is a kind of plan that outlines all the learning to be covered over a given period of time (usually a term or a whole school year). [1] [2] defines the structure and content of an academic course. It splits an often-multi-year curriculum into deliverable units of work, each of a far shorter weeks' duration (e.g. two or three ...

  3. Scheme (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, specifically algebraic geometry, a scheme is a structure that enlarges the notion of algebraic variety in several ways, such as taking account of multiplicities (the equations x = 0 and x 2 = 0 define the same algebraic variety but different schemes) and allowing "varieties" defined over any commutative ring (for example, Fermat curves are defined over the integers).

  4. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians. [1]

  5. Group scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_scheme

    In mathematics, a group scheme is a type of object from algebraic geometry equipped with a composition law. Group schemes arise naturally as symmetries of schemes, and they generalize algebraic groups, in the sense that all algebraic groups have group scheme structure, but group schemes are not necessarily connected, smooth, or defined over a field.

  6. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    The scheme is always numerically stable and convergent but usually more numerically intensive than the explicit method as it requires solving a system of numerical equations on each time step. The errors are linear over the time step and quadratic over the space step: Δ u = O ( k ) + O ( h 2 ) . {\displaystyle \Delta u=O(k)+O(h^{2}).}

  7. David Mumford - Wikipedia

    David Bryant Mumford (born 11 June 1937) is an American mathematician known for his work in algebraic geometry and then for research into vision and pattern theory. He won the Fields Medal and was a MacArthur Fellow .

  8. Proj construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proj_construction

    We also construct a sheaf on ⁡, called the “structure sheaf” as in the affine case, which makes it into a scheme.As in the case of the Spec construction there are many ways to proceed: the most direct one, which is also highly suggestive of the construction of regular functions on a projective variety in classical algebraic geometry, is the following.

  9. Formal scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_scheme

    In mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, a formal scheme is a type of space which includes data about its surroundings. Unlike an ordinary scheme, a formal scheme includes infinitesimal data that, in effect, points in a direction off of the scheme. For this reason, formal schemes frequently appear in topics such as deformation theory.
