  2. Sight reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_reduction

    In astronavigation, sight reduction is the process of deriving from a sight (in celestial navigation usually obtained using a sextant) the information needed for establishing a line of position, generally by intercept method.

  3. List of open-source software for mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source...

    An unpublished computational program written in Pascal called Abra inspired this open-source software. Abra was originally designed for physicists to compute problems present in quantum mechanics. Kespers Peeters then decided to write a similar program in C computing language rather than Pascal, which he renamed Cadabra. However, Cadabra has ...

  4. Intercept method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_method

    It was originally called the azimuth intercept method because the process involves drawing a line which intercepts the azimuth line. This name was shortened to intercept method and the intercept distance was shortened to 'intercept'. The method yields a line of position (LOP) on which the observer is situated. The intersection of two or more ...

    If the system is controllable, there is always an input u(t) such that any state x 0 can be transferred to any other state x(t). With that in mind, a feedback loop can be added to the system with the control input u ( t ) = r ( t ) − kx ( t ) , such that the new dynamics of the system will be

  6. Lattice Boltzmann methods for solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_Boltzmann_methods...

    The Lattice Boltzmann methods for solids (LBMS) are a set of methods for solving partial differential equations (PDE) in solid mechanics. The methods use a discretization of the Boltzmann equation(BM), and their use is known as the lattice Boltzmann methods for solids. LBMS methods are categorized by their reliance on: Vectorial distributions [1]

  7. MacCormack method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacCormack_method

    In computational fluid dynamics, the MacCormack method (/məˈkɔːrmæk ˈmɛθəd/) is a widely used discretization scheme for the numerical solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations. This second-order finite difference method was introduced by Robert W. MacCormack in 1969. [ 1 ]

  8. Interior-point method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior-point_method

    An interior point method was discovered by Soviet mathematician I. I. Dikin in 1967. [1] The method was reinvented in the U.S. in the mid-1980s. In 1984, Narendra Karmarkar developed a method for linear programming called Karmarkar's algorithm, [2] which runs in provably polynomial time (() operations on L-bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and constants), and is also very ...

  9. sc (spreadsheet calculator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sc_(spreadsheet_calculator)

    sc is a cross-platform, free, TUI, spreadsheet and calculator application that runs on Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It has also been ported to Windows. It can be accessed through a terminal emulator, and has a simple interface and keyboard shortcuts resembling the key bindings of the Vim text editor. It can be used in a similar manner ...
