history of logic: Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZF): …ZF by adding a “foundation axiom,” which explicitly prohibited sets that contain themselves as members. In the 1920s and ’30s, von Neumann, the Swiss mathematician Paul Isaak Bernays, and the Austrian-born logician Kurt Gödel (1906–78) provided additional technical modifications, resulting in what is now known as von Neumann-Bernays-Gödel set

celestial mechanics: Numerical solutions: In this process, called regularization, the encounter is traversed in less computer time while preserving reasonable accuracy.
