  2. Taylor number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_number

    In fluid dynamics, the Taylor number (Ta) is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the importance of centrifugal "forces" or so-called inertial forces due to rotation of a fluid about an axis, relative to viscous forces. [1] In 1923 Geoffrey Ingram Taylor introduced this quantity in his article on the stability of flow. [2]

  3. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test

    At the remaining critical point (0, 0) the second derivative test is insufficient, and one must use higher order tests or other tools to determine the behavior of the function at this point. (In fact, one can show that f takes both positive and negative values in small neighborhoods around (0, 0) and so this point is a saddle point of f.)

  4. Critical value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_value

    Critical value or threshold value can refer to: A quantitative threshold in medicine, chemistry and physics; Critical value (statistics), boundary of the acceptance region while testing a statistical hypothesis; Value of a function at a critical point (mathematics) Critical point (thermodynamics) of a statistical system.

  5. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point_(mathematics)

    The value of the function at a critical point is a critical value. [1] More specifically, when dealing with functions of a real variable, a critical point, also known as a stationary point, is a point in the domain of the function where the function derivative is equal to zero (or where the function is not differentiable). [2]

  6. Student's t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-distribution

    The following table lists values for t distributions with ν degrees of freedom for a range of one-sided or two-sided critical regions. The first column is ν , the percentages along the top are confidence levels α , {\displaystyle \ \alpha \ ,} and the numbers in the body of the table are the t α , n − 1 {\displaystyle t_{\alpha ,n-1 ...

  7. Sard's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sard's_theorem

    In mathematics, Sard's theorem, also known as Sard's lemma or the Morse–Sard theorem, is a result in mathematical analysis that asserts that the set of critical values (that is, the image of the set of critical points) of a smooth function f from one Euclidean space or manifold to another is a null set, i.e., it has Lebesgue measure 0.

  8. Rayleigh number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_number

    A-segregates are predicted to form when the Rayleigh number exceeds a certain critical value. This critical value is independent of the composition of the alloy, and this is the main advantage of the Rayleigh number criterion over other criteria for prediction of convectional instabilities, such as Suzuki criterion. Torabi Rad et al. showed ...

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]
