  2. Nondimensionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondimensionalization

    One of the simplest characteristic units is the doubling time of a system experiencing exponential growth, or conversely the half-life of a system experiencing exponential decay; a more natural pair of characteristic units is mean age/mean lifetime, which correspond to base e rather than base 2.

  3. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...

  4. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  5. (4+3) cycloaddition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(4+3)_cycloaddition

    A (4+3) cycloaddition [1] is a cycloaddition between a four-atom π-system and a three-atom π-system to form a seven-membered ring. Allyl or oxyallyl cations (propenylium-2-olate) are commonly used three-atom π-systems, while a diene (such as butadiene ) plays the role of the four-atom π-system.

  6. Mass fraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_fraction_(chemistry)

    In biology, the unit "%" is sometimes (incorrectly) used to denote mass concentration, also called mass/volume percentage. A solution with 1 g of solute dissolved in a final volume of 100 mL of solution would be labeled as "1%" or "1% m/v" (mass/volume). This is incorrect because the unit "%" can only be used for dimensionless quantities.

  7. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    Because of this, different methods need to be used to solve BVPs. For example, the shooting method (and its variants) or global methods like finite differences, [3] Galerkin methods, [4] or collocation methods are appropriate for that class of problems. The Picard–Lindelöf theorem states that there is a unique solution, provided f is ...

  8. Coherence (units of measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(units_of...

    One may apply any unit one pleases to the proportionality constant. If one applies the unit s 2 /lb to it, then the foot becomes a unit of force. In a four-unit system (English engineering units), the pound and the pound-force are distinct base units, and the proportionality constant has the unit lbf⋅s 2 /(lb⋅ft). [12] [13]

  9. Multiplicity (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_(statistical...

    For example, in a very small system with N = 2 dipoles, there are three macrostates, corresponding to =,, Since the N ↑ = 0 {\displaystyle N_{\uparrow }=0} and N ↑ = 2 {\displaystyle N_{\uparrow }=2} macrostates require both dipoles to be either anti-aligned or aligned, respectively, the multiplicity of either of these states is 1.
