FERMIAC
Fermi filter
Fermi Linux, distributions produced Fermilab

Fermi-ization, method of estimation that involves breaking a problem into component parts, estimating each part separately and then combining the result. This method tends to produce substantially more accurate answers, even with components that are largely unknown, than less systematic approaches.^[1]
