finite order
1Order (group theory) — This article is about order in group theory. For order in other branches of mathematics, see Order (mathematics). For order in other disciplines, see Order. In group theory, a branch of mathematics, the term order is used in two closely related… …
2Finite model theory — is a subfield of model theory that focuses on properties of logical languages, such as first order logic, over finite structures, such as finite groups, graphs, databases, and most abstract machines. It focuses in particular on connections… …
3Finite-difference time-domain method — Finite difference time domain (FDTD) is a popular computational electrodynamics modeling technique. It is considered easy to understand and easy to implement in software. Since it is a time domain method, solutions can cover a wide frequency… …
4Finite element method in structural mechanics — Finite element method (FEM) is a powerful technique originally developed for numerical solution of complex problems in structural mechanics, and it remains the method of choice for complex systems. In the FEM, the structural system is modeled by… …
5Finite field — In abstract algebra, a finite field or Galois field (so named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains only finitely many elements. Finite fields are important in number theory, algebraic geometry, Galois theory, cryptography, and… …
6Finite difference — A finite difference is a mathematical expression of the form f(x + b) − f(x + a). If a finite difference is divided by b − a, one gets a difference quotient. The approximation of derivatives by finite differences… …
7Finite element method — The finite element method (FEM) (sometimes referred to as finite element analysis) is a numerical technique for finding approximate solutions of partial differential equations (PDE) as well as of integral equations. The solution approach is based …
8Finite set — In mathematics, a set is called finite if there is a bijection between the set and some set of the form {1, 2, ..., n} where n is a natural number. (The value n = 0 is allowed; that is, the empty set is finite.) An infinite set is a set which is… …
9Finite group — In mathematics, a finite group is a group which has finitely many elements. Some aspects of the theory of finite groups were investigated in great depth in the twentieth century, in particular the local theory, and the theory of solvable groups… …
10Finite geometry — A finite geometry is any geometric system that has only a finite number of points. Euclidean geometry, for example, is not finite, because a Euclidean line contains infinitely many points, in fact precisely the same number of points as there are… …
