121Discrete element method — A discrete element method (DEM), also called a distinct element method is any of family of numerical methods for computing the motion of a large number of particles of micrometre scale size and above. Though DEM is very closely related to… …
122Teaching method — Teaching methods are best articulated by answering the questions, What is the purpose of education? and What are the best ways of achieving these purposes? . For much of prehistory, educational methods were largely informal, and consisted of… …
123Van der Pauw method — The van der Pauw Method is a commonly used technique to measure the sheet resistance of a material. The Van der Pauw method is often used to measure the Hall effect, which characterises a sample of semiconductor material and can be successfully… …
124Cutting-plane method — In mathematical optimization, the cutting plane method is an umbrella term for optimization methods which iteratively refine a feasible set or objective function by means of linear inequalities, termed cuts. Such procedures are popularly used to… …
125Cartan's equivalence method — In mathematics, Cartan s equivalence method is a technique in differential geometry for determining whether two geometrical structures are the same up to a diffeomorphism. For example, if M and N are two Riemannian manifolds with metrics g and h …
126Finite-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… …
127Fermat's factorization method — is based on the representation of an odd integer as the difference of two squares: :N = a^2 b^2. That difference is algebraically factorable as (a+b)(a b); if neither factor equals one, it is a proper factorization of N .Each odd number has such… …
128Debt-snowball method — The debt snowball method is a debt reduction strategy, whereby one who owes on more than one account pays off the accounts starting with the smallest balances first while paying the minimum on larger debts. Once the smallest debt is paid off, one …
