  2. Isocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocline

    Fig. 1: Isoclines (blue), slope field (black), and some solution curves (red) of y' = xy. The solution curves are y = C e x 2 / 2 {\displaystyle y=Ce^{x^{2}/2}} . Given a family of curves , assumed to be differentiable , an isocline for that family is formed by the set of points at which some member of the family attains a given slope .

  3. Slope field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

    Solutions to a slope field are functions drawn as solid curves. A slope field shows the slope of a differential equation at certain vertical and horizontal intervals on the x-y plane, and can be used to determine the approximate tangent slope at a point on a curve, where the curve is some solution to the differential equation.

  4. Erdős–Szekeres theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Szekeres_theorem

    For r = 3 and s = 2, the formula tells us that any permutation of three numbers has an increasing subsequence of length three or a decreasing subsequence of length two. Among the six permutations of the numbers 1,2,3: 1,2,3 has an increasing subsequence consisting of all three numbers; 1,3,2 has a decreasing subsequence 3,2

  5. Moment-area theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment-Area_Theorem

    The following procedure provides a method that may be used to determine the displacement and slope at a point on the elastic curve of a beam using the moment-area theorem. Determine the reaction forces of a structure and draw the M/EI diagram of the structure.

  6. Heun's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heun's_method

    The solution is to make the slope greater by some amount. Heun's Method considers the tangent lines to the solution curve at both ends of the interval, one which overestimates, and one which underestimates the ideal vertical coordinates. A prediction line must be constructed based on the right end point tangent's slope alone, approximated using ...

  7. Newmark's sliding block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newmark's_sliding_block

    The method is an extension of the Newmark's direct integration method originally proposed by Nathan M. Newmark in 1943. It was applied to the sliding block problem in a lecture delivered by him in 1965 in the British Geotechnical Association's 5th Rankine Lecture in London and published later in the Association's scientific journal Geotechnique.

  8. Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_and_Swinnerton-Dyer...

    It is an open problem in the field of number theory and is widely recognized as one of the most challenging mathematical problems. It is named after mathematicians Bryan John Birch and Peter Swinnerton-Dyer , who developed the conjecture during the first half of the 1960s with the help of machine computation.

  9. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    The actual approach appears to have been developed by Clebsch in 1862. [2] Macaulay's method has been generalized for Euler-Bernoulli beams with axial compression, [3] to Timoshenko beams, [4] to elastic foundations, [5] and to problems in which the bending and shear stiffness changes discontinuously in a beam.
