  2. Singular perturbation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_perturbation

    A perturbed problem whose solution can be approximated on the whole problem domain, whether space or time, by a single asymptotic expansion has a regular perturbation.Most often in applications, an acceptable approximation to a regularly perturbed problem is found by simply replacing the small parameter by zero everywhere in the problem statement.

  3. Siltation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siltation

    Resuspension of fines from a replenished beach causing siltation offshore. In rural areas, the first line of defense is to maintain land cover and prevent soil erosion in the first place. The second line of defense is to trap the material before it reaches the stream network (known as sediment control). In urban areas, the defenses are to keep ...

  4. Word problem (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics...

    For instance, if the one solving the math word problem has a limited understanding of the language (English, Spanish, etc.) they are more likely to not understand what the problem is even asking. In Example 1 (above), if one does not comprehend the definition of the word "spent," they will misunderstand the entire purpose of the word problem.

  5. Worksheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worksheet

    The form comes with two worksheets, one to calculate exemptions, and another to calculate the effects of other income (second job, spouse's job). The bottom number in each worksheet is used to fill out two if the lines in the main W4 form. The main form is filed with the employer, and the worksheets are discarded or held by the employee.

  6. Problem set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_set

    A problem set, sometimes shortened as pset, [1] is a teaching tool used by many universities. Most courses in physics, math, engineering, chemistry, and computer science will give problem sets on a regular basis. [2] They can also appear in other subjects, such as economics.

  7. Free variables and bound variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_variables_and_bound...

    To give an example from mathematics, consider an expression which defines a function = [(, …,)] where t is an expression. t may contain some, all or none of the x 1, …, x n and it may contain other variables. In this case we say that function definition binds the variables x 1, …, x n.

  8. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  9. Finite point method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_point_method

    The finite point method (FPM) is a meshfree method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on scattered distributions of points. The FPM was proposed in the mid-nineties in (Oñate, Idelsohn, Zienkiewicz & Taylor, 1996a), [1] (Oñate, Idelsohn, Zienkiewicz, Taylor & Sacco, 1996b) [2] and (Oñate & Idelsohn, 1998a) [3] with the purpose to facilitate the solution of problems involving ...
