  2. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    There is also a table provided comparing the differences between the profiles estimated by the two different methods at different stations to show consistency between the two methods. While the two different methods modeled similar water surface shapes, the standard step method predicted that the flow would take a greater distance to reach ...

  3. Intercept method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_method

    In astronomical navigation, the intercept method, also known as Marcq St. Hilaire method, is a method of calculating an observer's position on Earth (geopositioning).It was originally called the azimuth intercept method because the process involves drawing a line which intercepts the azimuth line.

  4. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    Macaulay's method (the double integration method) is a technique used in structural analysis to determine the deflection of Euler-Bernoulli beams.Use of Macaulay's technique is very convenient for cases of discontinuous and/or discrete loading.

  5. Heun's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heun's_method

    If this slope is passed through the left end point of the interval, the result is evidently too steep to be used as an ideal prediction line and overestimates the ideal point. Therefore, the ideal point lies approximately halfway between the erroneous overestimation and underestimation, the average of the two slopes.

  6. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation

    A simple two-point estimation is to compute the slope of a nearby secant line through the points (x, f(x)) and (x + h, f(x + h)). [1] Choosing a small number h , h represents a small change in x , and it can be either positive or negative.

  7. Slope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  8. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    is the angle between the slope line and the horizontal line, s is the slope distance measured between two points on the slope line, h is the height of the slope. = + Where L= Inclined length measured A= Inclined angle

  9. Digital differential analyzer (graphics algorithm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_differential...

    For lines with slope greater than 1, we reverse the role of x and y i.e. we sample at dy=1 and calculate consecutive x values as + = + + = + Similar calculations are carried out to determine pixel positions along a line with negative slope.
