https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic%20differential
In mathematics, a real differential one-form ω on a surface is called a harmonic differential if ω and its conjugate one-form, written as ω∗, are both closed. Explanation Consider the case of real one-forms defined on a two dimensional real manifold. Moreover, consider real one-forms that are the real parts of compl...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velotrace
The Velotrace, first described in 1987, is a mechanical device that monitors and records analogue data on the position of the soft palate, or velum. The device comprises two levels connected through a "push rod" that carried on a "support rod", which itself rests on the floor of the nasal cavity. The internal lever res...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITP%20method
In numerical analysis, the ITP method, short for Interpolate Truncate and Project, is the first root-finding algorithm that achieves the superlinear convergence of the secant method while retaining the optimal worst-case performance of the bisection method. It is also the first method with guaranteed average performanc...
