  2. Convergent thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_thinking

    Convergent thinking is the type of thinking that focuses on coming up with the single, well-established answer to a problem. [1] It is oriented toward deriving the single best, or most often correct answer to a question. Convergent thinking emphasizes speed, accuracy, and logic and focuses on recognizing the familiar, reapplying techniques, and ...

  3. Convergent series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_series

    Convergent series. In mathematics, a series is the sum of the terms of an infinite sequence of numbers. More precisely, an infinite sequence defines a series S that is denoted. The n th partial sum Sn is the sum of the first n terms of the sequence; that is, A series is convergent (or converges) if and only if the sequence of its partial sums ...

  4. Divergent thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergent_thinking

    Divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is a thought process used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. It typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-flowing, "non-linear" manner, such that many ideas are generated in an emergent cognitive fashion. Many possible solutions are explored in a short amount of time, and ...

  5. List of examples of convergent evolution - Wikipedia

    Here is a list of examples in which unrelated proteins have similar functions with different structure. The convergent orientation of the catalytic triad in the active site of serine and cysteine proteases independently in over 20 enzyme superfamilies. [251] The use of an N-terminal threonine for proteolysis.

  6. Convergent evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution

    e. Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different periods or epochs in time. Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups. The cladistic term for the same phenomenon is homoplasy.

  7. Convergent boundary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_boundary

    Convergent boundary. A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone. [1]

    where is the common domain of and , and stands for the supremum.That is a stronger statement than the assertion of pointwise convergence: every uniformly convergent sequence is pointwise convergent, to the same limiting function, but some pointwise convergent sequences are not uniformly convergent.

  9. Conditional convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_convergence

    Definition. More precisely, a series of real numbers is said to converge conditionally if exists (as a finite real number, i.e. not or ), but. A classic example is the alternating harmonic series given by. which converges to , but is not absolutely convergent (see Harmonic series ). Bernhard Riemann proved that a conditionally convergent series ...
