Neville, New South Wales
Neville is a small village in the south-east of New South Wales, Australia, in Blayney Shire. It is 60 km south west of Bathurst or about 16 km south-east of Mandurama. It is 940 metres above sea level and has a population of about 100. History European settlement of the area began soon after the establishment of Bathurst in 1815, but the exact time is still unclear. The village was known by different names before it was finally called Neville in 1888. Other names previous to Neville include "No-one swamp" or "Number one Swamp" (the creek that it is on) and ''Macquarie'' in reference to Lachlan Macquarie, an early governor of New South Wales, and then "Mount Macquarie" which the nearby Mount Macquarie is still called. Another possibility is that Neville was a stagecoach stop on the direct road from Rockley to Cowra. The modern city of Cowra was built in a region previously called "The Lachlan". The road joining Rockley to "The Lachlan" was called "The Old Lach ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Neville's Algorithm
In mathematics, Neville's algorithm is an algorithm used for polynomial interpolation that was derived by the mathematician Eric Harold Neville in 1934. Given ''n'' + 1 points, there is a unique polynomial of degree ''≤ n'' which goes through the given points. Neville's algorithm evaluates this polynomial. Neville's algorithm is based on the Newton form of the interpolating polynomial and the recursion relation for the divided differences In mathematics, divided differences is an algorithm, historically used for computing tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions. Charles Babbage's difference engine, an early mechanical calculator, was designed to use this algorithm in its o .... It is similar to Aitken's algorithm (named after Alexander Aitken), which is nowadays not used. The algorithm Given a set of ''n''+1 data points (''x''''i'', ''y''''i'') where no two ''x''''i'' are the same, the interpolating polynomial is the polynomial ''p'' of degree at most ''n'' with the ...

Fifehead Neville
Fifehead Neville is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southern England, situated in the Blackmore Vale about southwest of the town of Sturminster Newton. In the 2011 census the population of the parish was 147. Toponymy The first part of the name Fifehead Neville derives from the Old English ''fīf'' and ''hīd'', meaning '(estate of) five hides of land'. It was recorded as ''Fifhide'' in the Domesday Book of 1086. The second part derives from the de Neville family who were here in the 13th century; in 1287 the name ''Fyfhud Neuyle'' was recorded. This differentiated this Fifehead from other Dorset manorial holdings called Fifehead (Fifehead St Quintin and Fifehead St Magdalen).

Concrete Aboriginal
A Concrete Aboriginal, also known as a Neville, is a lawn ornament once common in Australia. The ornament is a concrete statue depicting an Aboriginal Australian, generally carrying a spear and often standing on one leg. The statues were once common in Australia but rarely seen since the 1980s. The fashion for keeping a concrete Aboriginal in the garden was satirised in the Australian 1980s situation comedy ''Kingswood Country'', where the lead character referred to his concrete Aboriginal as "Neville". The name "Neville" was thought to be a reference to Neville Bonner, the first Aboriginal Australian to sit in the Parliament of Australia.
