Crank magnetism is a term popularized by physiologist and blogger Mark Hoofnagle to describe the propensity of cranks to hold multiple irrational, unsupported or ludicrous beliefs that are often unrelated to one another.

Crank may also refer to an ill-tempered individual or one who is in a bad mood, but that usage is not the subject of this article.

For diffusion equations ( and many other equations ), it can be shown the Crank – Nicolson method is unconditionally stable .< ref >.

can be solved with the Crank – Nicolson discretization of

Because a number of other phenomena can be modeled with the heat equation ( often called the diffusion equation in financial mathematics ), the Crank – Nicolson method has been applied to those areas as well.

Particularly, the Black – Scholes option pricing model's differential equation can be transformed into the heat equation, and thus numerical solutions for option pricing can be obtained with the Crank – Nicolson method.

For the Crank – Nicolson numerical scheme, a low CFL number is not required for stability, however it is required for numerical accuracy.

The magnetic state ( or phase ) of a material depends on temperature ( and other variables such as pressure and applied magnetic field ) so that a material may exhibit more than one form of magnetism depending on its temperature, etc.

In particular, a phenomenon that appears purely electric to one observer may be purely magnetic to another, or more generally the relative contributions of electricity and magnetism are dependent on the frame of reference.

Amongst the fruits of his industry may be mentioned a laborious investigation of the disturbances of Jupiter by Saturn, the results of which were employed and confirmed by Euler in his prize essay of 1748 ; a series of lunar observations extending over fifty years ; some interesting researches in terrestrial magnetism and atmospheric electricity, in the latter of which he detected a regular diurnal period ; and the determination of the places of a great number of stars, including at least twelve separate observations of Uranus, between 1750 and its discovery as a planet.

Magnetic minerals in rocks may have a wide range of magnetic properties ( see rock magnetism ).

Fundamentally, contributions to any system's magnetic moment may come from sources of two kinds: ( 1 ) motion of electric charges, such as electric currents, and ( 2 ) the intrinsic magnetism of elementary particles, such as the electron.

Secondly since magnetism is a conservative force, in and of itself it gives little if any damping, and oscillations may cause loss of successful suspension if any driving forces are present, which they very typically are.

In modern usage, the phrase " animal magnetism " may refer to a person's sexual attractiveness or raw charisma.

Mesmer ’ s animal magnetism and the studies of electric current through which life can be controlled may be contributors to the writing so of Mary Shelley ( Frankenstein ) and John Keats.

Although Joseph Du Commun was the first to lecture on animal magnetism in America, Poyen may rightly be thought of as having done more than any other to make the phenomenon widely known there.

A person with a penetrating head injury may be evaluated using X-ray, CT scan, or MRI ( however MRI can only be used when the penetrating object would not be magnetic, because MRI uses magnetism and could move the object, causing further injury ).

Both gateways have been sealed from the Lancre side by standing stones made from thunderbolt iron, a form of meteoric ore which is one of the few sources of magnetism on the Disc ; humans, but not Elves ( except in exceptional circumstances ), may pass through them.

Much of the increased activity and interest in hydrography, geodesy, seismology, and terrestrial magnetism may be traced directly to his influence.

Kepler proposed an attractive force similar to magnetism, which may have been known by Newton.
