Construction engineeringConstruction engineering, also known as construction operations, is a professional subdiscipline of civil engineering that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and operations management of infrastructure such as roadways, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, facilities, buildings, dams, utilities and other projects. Construction engineers learn some of the design aspects similar to civil engineers as well as project management aspects.
Primitive data typeIn computer science, primitive data types are a set of basic data types from which all other data types are constructed. Specifically it often refers to the limited set of data representations in use by a particular processor, which all compiled programs must use. Most processors support a similar set of primitive data types, although the specific representations vary. More generally, "primitive data types" may refer to the standard data types built into a programming language (built-in types).
Circular sectionIn geometry, a circular section is a circle on a quadric surface (such as an ellipsoid or hyperboloid). It is a special plane section of the quadric, as this circle is the intersection with the quadric of the plane containing the circle. Any plane section of a sphere is a circular section, if it contains at least 2 points. Any quadric of revolution contains circles as sections with planes that are orthogonal to its axis; it does not contain any other circles, if it is not a sphere.
Méthode des indivisiblesvignette|Illustration du principe de Cavalieri : les deux piles de jetons ont même volume car leurs sections par des plans parallèles sont de même aire. En géométrie, la méthode des indivisibles ou principe de Cavalieri est une méthode de calcul d'aire et de volume inventée par Bonaventura Cavalieri au , développée par Gilles Personne de Roberval, Evangelista Torricelli et Blaise Pascal, plus efficace que la méthode d'exhaustion d'Archimède mais aussi plus risquée à appliquer.
