  3. Procedural knowledge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_knowledge

    It is the ability to execute action sequences to solve problems. This type of knowledge is tied to specific problem types and therefore is not widely generalizable. [7] Procedural knowledge is goal-oriented and mediates problem-solving behavior. [8] The concept of procedural knowledge is also widely used in mathematics educational researches.

  4. Sequence stratigraphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_stratigraphy

    Sequence stratigraphy is a branch of geology, specifically a branch of stratigraphy, that attempts to discern and understand historic geology through time by subdividing and linking sedimentary deposits into unconformity bounded units on a variety of scales.

  5. Iterative method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

    In contrast, direct methods attempt to solve the problem by a finite sequence of operations. In the absence of rounding errors , direct methods would deliver an exact solution (for example, solving a linear system of equations A x = b {\displaystyle A\mathbf {x} =\mathbf {b} } by Gaussian elimination ).

    In the above figure, P 1 has a winning strategy as follows: N 1 points only to nodes N 2 and N 3. Thus P 1 's first move must be one of these two choices. P 1 chooses N 2 (if P 1 chooses N 3, then P 2 will choose N 9 as that is the only option and P 1 will lose). Next P 2 chooses N 4 because it is the only remaining choice. P 1 now chooses N 5 ...

    Problems involving arithmetic progressions are of interest in number theory, [1] combinatorics, and computer science, both from theoretical and applied points of view. Largest progression-free subsets

  8. Cratonic sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cratonic_sequence

    A cratonic sequence (also known as megasequence, Sloss sequence or supersequence) in geology is a very large-scale lithostratigraphic sequence in the rock record that represents a complete cycle of marine transgression and regression on a craton (block of continental crust) over geologic time.

    Also amphidrome and tidal node. A geographical location where there is little or no tide, i.e. where the tidal amplitude is zero or nearly zero because the height of sea level does not change appreciably over time (meaning there is no high tide or low tide), and around which a tidal crest circulates once per tidal period (approximately every 12 hours). Tidal amplitude increases, though not ...
