Discrete time and continuous timeIn mathematical dynamics, discrete time and continuous time are two alternative frameworks within which variables that evolve over time are modeled. Discrete time views values of variables as occurring at distinct, separate "points in time", or equivalently as being unchanged throughout each non-zero region of time ("time period")—that is, time is viewed as a discrete variable. Thus a non-time variable jumps from one value to another as time moves from one time period to the next.
Output deviceAn output device is a piece of computer hardware that converts information into a human-perceptible form or, historically, into a physical machine-readable form for use with other non-computerized equipment. It can be text, graphics, tactile, audio, or video. Examples include monitors, printers, speakers, headphones, projectors, GPS devices, optical mark readers, and braille readers.
Théorème du gradientLe théorème du gradient est un théorème de l'analyse vectorielle qui met en relation l'intégrale de volume du gradient d'un champ scalaire et l'intégrale de surface du même champ. Le théorème est le suivant : Pour démontrer que ces deux vecteurs sont égaux, il suffit de vérifier que leurs produits scalaires par n'importe quel vecteur le sont, en utilisant le théorème de flux-divergence.
