Scientific Method and Hypothesis Testing “Whereas other types of human speculation are based on mere opinion, science pursues and sticks to the facts” Hypothesis and Perception: The Roots of Scientific Method Preliminary Research. Formulating a working hypothesis. Research evidence to support/reject hypothesis. Formulate a thesis statement. Writing a historical account. Historical Method: . 5 step process historians use to write history. When modeling a problem using a finite element program, it is very important to check whether the solution has converged. . The . word convergence is used because the output from the finite element program is converging on a single correct solution. In order to check the convergence, more than one solution to the same problem are required. If the solution is dramatically different from the original solution, then solution of the problem is not converged. However, if the solution does not change much (less than a few percent difference) then solution of the problem is considered converged..
