In the geometry of numbers, the subspace theorem was obtained by Wolfgang M. Schmidt in 1972. [6] It states that if n is a positive integer, and L 1,...,L n are linearly independent linear forms in n variables with algebraic coefficients and if ε>0 is any given real number, then the non-zero integer points x in n coordinates with

The Poincaré group, named after Henri Poincaré (1905), [1] was first defined by Hermann Minkowski (1908) as the isometry group of Minkowski spacetime. [2] [3] It is a ten-dimensional non-abelian Lie group that is of importance as a model in our understanding of the most basic fundamentals of physics.
"The Felix Klein Protocols" is a collection of handwritten records of the Göttingen seminar lectures of Felix Klein and his school. They span over 8000 pages in 29 volumes, and are regarded as one of the richest records of mathematical activity in modern times. [1]
Hi. I'm studying physics at a university, and we are currently studying relativity. In our book, there is a place where it reads "the 80th Assembly of German Natural Scientists and Physicians" I refind this sentence on this particular Wikipedia page. I think it is odd, because a physician is a medical doctor, unlike a physicist, who does physics.
