  2. Law of definite proportions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_definite_proportions

    The law of definite proportion was given by Joseph Proust in 1797. [2]I shall conclude by deducing from these experiments the principle I have established at the commencement of this memoir, viz. that iron like many other metals is subject to the law of nature which presides at every true combination, that is to say, that it unites with two constant proportions of oxygen.

  3. Structure constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_constants

    Therefore, the structure constants can be used to specify the product operation of the algebra (just like a matrix defines a linear operator). Given the structure constants, the resulting product is obtained by bilinearity and can be uniquely extended to all vectors in the vector space, thus uniquely determining the product for the algebra.

  4. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate_constant

    where A and B are reactants C is a product a, b, and c are stoichiometric coefficients,. the reaction rate is often found to have the form: = [] [] Here ⁠ ⁠ is the reaction rate constant that depends on temperature, and [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of substances A and B in moles per unit volume of solution, assuming the reaction is taking place throughout the volume of the ...

  5. const (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Const_(computer_programming)

    because the argument to f must be a variable integer, but i is a constant integer. This matching is a form of program correctness, and is known as const-correctness.This allows a form of programming by contract, where functions specify as part of their type signature whether they modify their arguments or not, and whether their return value is modifiable or not.

  6. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    The rate for a bimolecular gas-phase reaction, A + B → product, predicted by collision theory is [6] = = ⁡ ()where: k is the rate constant in units of (number of molecules) −1 ⋅s −1 ⋅m 3.

  7. Product of groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_of_groups

    In mathematics, a product of groups usually refers to a direct product of groups, but may also mean: semidirect product; Product of group subsets; wreath product;

  8. Gaussian orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_orbital

    The use of Gaussian orbitals in electronic structure theory (instead of the more physical Slater-type orbitals) was first proposed by Boys [2] in 1950. The principal reason for the use of Gaussian basis functions in molecular quantum chemical calculations is the 'Gaussian Product Theorem', which guarantees that the product of two GTOs centered on two different atoms is a finite sum of ...

  9. Cubical complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubical_complex

    One often reserves the term cubical complex, or cube complex, for such cubed complexes where no two faces of a same cube are identified, i.e. where the boundary of each cube is embedded, and the intersection of two cubes is a face in each cube. [2] A cube complex is said to be finite-dimensional if the dimension of the cubical cells is bounded.
