11Finite 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 …

13Finite volume method — The finite volume method is a method for representing and evaluating partial differential equations as algebraic equations. Similar to the finite difference method, values are calculated at discrete places on a meshed geometry. Finite volume… …
14Time — This article is about the measurement. For the magazine, see Time (magazine). For other uses, see Time (disambiguation). The flow of sand in an hourglass can be used to keep track of elapsed time. It also concretely represents the present as… …
15Finite state machine — A finite state machine (FSM) or finite state automaton (plural: automata ) or simply a state machine, is a model of behavior composed of a finite number of states, transitions between those states, and actions. A finite state machine is an… …
16Finite 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… …
17Finite element machine — The Finite Element Machine (FEM)[1] was a late 1970s early 1980s NASA[2] project to build and evaluate the performance of a parallel computer for structural analysis. The FEM was completed and successfully tested at the NASA Langley Research… …
18Finite-difference frequency-domain — The finite difference frequency domain (FDFD) is a numerical solution for problems usually in electromagnetism. The method is, of course, based on finite difference approximations of the derivative operators in the differential equation being… …
19Finite impulse response — A finite impulse response (FIR) filter is a type of a digital filter. The impulse response, the filter s response to a Kronecker delta input, is finite because it settles to zero in a finite number of sample intervals. This is in contrast to… …
20Finite 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… …
