1Method of steepest descent — For the optimization algorithm, see Gradient descent. In mathematics, the method of steepest descent or stationary phase method or saddle point method is an extension of Laplace s method for approximating an integral, where one deforms a contour… …
2Method of moments (probability theory) — This article is about the method of moments in probability theory. See method of moments for other techniques bearing the same name. In probability theory, the method of moments is a way of proving convergence in distribution by proving… …
3Ritz method — In physics, the Ritz method is a variational method named after Walter Ritz.In quantum mechanics, a system of particles can be described in terms of an energy functional or Hamiltonian, which will measure the energy of any proposed configuration… …
4Orbit method — In mathematics, the orbit method (also known as the Kirillov theory, the method of coadjoint orbits and by a few similar names) establishes a correspondence between irreducible unitary representations of a Lie group and its coadjoint orbits:… …
5Day count convention — In finance, a day count convention determines how interest accrues over time for a variety of investments, including bonds, notes, loans, mortgages, medium term notes, swaps, and forward rate agreements (FRAs). This determines the amount… …
6Divergent series — In mathematics, a divergent series is an infinite series that is not convergent, meaning that the infinite sequence of the partial sums of the series does not have a limit. If a series converges, the individual terms of the series must approach… …
7Lagrange multiplier — Figure 1: Find x and y to maximize f(x,y) subject to a constraint (shown in red) g(x,y) = c …
8Bonaventura Cavalieri — Bonaventura Francesco Cavalieri (in Latin, Cavalerius) (1598 November 30, 1647) was an Italian mathematician known for Cavalieri s principle , which states that the volumes of two objects are equal if the areas of their corresponding cross… …
9Affine connection — An affine connection on the sphere rolls the affine tangent plane from one point to another. As it does so, the point of contact traces out a curve in the plane: the development. In the branch of mathematics called differential geometry, an… …
10Curve — For other uses, see Curve (disambiguation). A parabola, a simple example of a curve In mathematics, a curve (also called a curved line in older texts) is, generally speaking, an object similar to a line but which is not required to be straight.… …
