  2. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(algebra)

    In mathematics, and more specifically in homological algebra, a resolution (or left resolution; dually a coresolution or right resolution [1]) is an exact sequence of modules (or, more generally, of objects of an abelian category) that is used to define invariants characterizing the structure of a specific module or object of this category.

  8. Multi-index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-index_notation

    Multi-index notation is a mathematical notation that simplifies formulas used in multivariable calculus, partial differential equations and the theory of distributions, by generalising the concept of an integer index to an ordered tuple of indices.

  9. Index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_notation

    A vector treated as an array of numbers by writing as a row vector or column vector (whichever is used depends on convenience or context): = (), = Index notation allows indication of the elements of the array by simply writing a i, where the index i is known to run from 1 to n, because of n-dimensions.
