A method of displaying simple statistical parameters including hinges, the statistical median, and upper and lower values.

A particular way of doing something, sometimes also called an algorithm or procedure. (According to Petkovšek et al. (1996), "a method is a trick that has worked at least ...

A very useful active feedback method for controlling things like temperature control systems, servo motors, and flow control valves.

The method for solving the Goursat problem and Cauchy problem for linear hyperbolic partial differential equations using a Riemann function.

A sorting method proposed by Shell (1959) in which records being sorted can take long jumps instead of being restricted to short steps.

A method of stochastic optimization including techniques such as gradient search or Robbins-Monro stochastic approximation.

A generalization of spun knots due to Zeeman. This method produces four-dimensional knot types that cannot be produced by ordinary spinning.

Also known as the difference of squares method. It was first used by Fermat and improved by Gauss. Gauss looked for integers x and y satisfying y^2=x^2-N (mod E) for various ...

For discrete problems in which no efficient solution method is known, it might be necessary to test each possibility sequentially in order to determine if it is the solution. ...

A method which can be used to solve the initial value problem for certain classes of nonlinear partial differential equations. The method reduces the initial value problem to ...
