5Spline (mathematics) — A quadratic spline composed of six polynomial segments. Between point 0 and point 1 a straight line. Between point 1 and point 2 a parabola with second derivative = 4. Between point 2 and point 3 a parabola with second derivative = 2. Between… …
6Radiosity — is a global illumination algorithm used in 3D computer graphics rendering. Radiosity is an application of the finite element method to solving the rendering equation for scenes with purely diffuse surfaces. Unlike Monte Carlo algorithms (such as… …
7Irwin-Hall distribution — In probability theory and statistics, the Irwin Hall distribution is a continuous probability distribution of the sum of n i.i.d. U (0,1) random variables::X = sum {k=1}^n U k.For this reason it is also known as the uniform sum distribution. The… …
