* Methods specialized on Common Lisp types ( symbol, integer, ...).

Methods commonly used in CFD are the SIMPLE and Uzawa algorithms which exhibit mesh-dependent convergence rates, but recent advances based on block LU factorization combined with multigrid for the resulting definite systems have led to preconditioners that deliver mesh-independent convergence rates.

Methods may incorporate or base themselves on traditional medicine, folk knowledge, spiritual beliefs, or newly conceived approaches to healing.

Methods and practices may involve kidnapping and coercion.

Methods PUT and DELETE are defined to be idempotent, meaning that multiple identical requests should have the same effect as a single request ( Note that idempotence refers to the state of the system after the request has completed, so while the action the server takes ( e. g. deleting a record ) or the response code it returns may be different on subsequent requests, the system state will be the same every time ).

Methods of assessment may include a comprehensive exam, unit exams, portfolios, research papers, literature reviews, an oral exam or homework assignments.
