The case method is a teaching approach that uses decision-forcing cases to put students in the role of people who were faced with difficult decisions at some point in the past. It developed during the course of the twentieth-century from its origins in the casebook method of teaching law pioneered by Harvard legal scholar Christopher C. Langdell.In sharp contrast to many other …

Composite 20 index. SPCS20R is a composite index of the home price index for 20 major Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States. The index is published monthly by Standard & Poor's and uses the Case and Shiller method of a house price index using a modified version of the weighted-repeat sales methodology. This method is able to adjust for the quality of the …

In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations.Typically, it applies to first-order equations, although more generally the method of characteristics is valid for any hyperbolic partial differential equation.The method is to reduce a partial differential equation to a family of ordinary differential equations along which the solution …

In Case of Emergency (ICE) is a programme designed to enable first responders, such as paramedics, firefighters, and police officers, as well as hospital personnel, to contact the next of kin of the owner of a mobile phone in order to obtain important medical or support information (the mobile phone must be unlocked and working). The phone entry (or entries) should supplement …

In computer science, best, worst, and average cases of a given algorithm express what the resource usage is at least, at most and on average, respectively.Usually the resource being considered is running time, i.e. time complexity, but could also be memory or some other resource.Best case is the function which performs the minimum number of steps on input data …

The method. The secant method is defined by the recurrence relation = () = () (). As can be seen from the recurrence relation, the secant method requires two initial values, x 0 and x 1, which should ideally be chosen to lie close to the root. Derivation of the method. Starting with initial values x 0 and x 1, we construct a line through the points (x 0, f(x 0)) and (x 1, f(x 1)), as shown …

Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models used for classification of educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. The three lists cover the learning objectives in cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. The cognitive domain list has been the primary focus of most traditional education and is frequently used to structure curriculum …

Description. The Gauss–Seidel method is an iterative technique for solving a square system of n linear equations with unknown x: =. It is defined by the iteration (+) = (),where () is the kth approximation or iteration of , (+) is the next or k + 1 iteration of , and the matrix A is decomposed into a lower triangular component , and a strictly upper triangular component i.e.,
