  2. Parkinson's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_law

    This was the main focus of the essay by Cyril Northcote Parkinson, published in The Economist in 1955, [1] [5] and reprinted with other similar essays in the successful 1958 book Parkinson's Law: The Pursuit of Progress. [6] The book was translated into many languages. It was highly popular in the Soviet Union and its sphere of influence. [7]

  3. Master theorem (analysis of algorithms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_theorem_(analysis...

    The total amount of work done by the entire algorithm is the sum of the work performed by all the nodes in the tree. The runtime of an algorithm such as the p above on an input of size n , usually denoted T ( n ) {\displaystyle T(n)} , can be expressed by the recurrence relation

  4. Conservative force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_force

    Then the particle is moved around by other forces, and eventually ends up at A again. Though the particle may still be moving, at that instant when it passes point A again, it has traveled a closed path. If the net work done by F at this point is 0, then F passes the closed path test. Any force that passes the closed path test for all possible ...

  5. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    The ancient Greek understanding of physics was limited to the statics of simple machines (the balance of forces), and did not include dynamics or the concept of work. During the Renaissance the dynamics of the Mechanical Powers, as the simple machines were called, began to be studied from the standpoint of how far they could lift a load, in addition to the force they could apply, leading ...

  6. Work (electric field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(electric_field)

    The work per unit of charge is defined as the movement of negligible test charge between two points, and is expressed as the difference in electric potential at those points. The work can be done, for example, by generators, (electrochemical cells) or thermocouples generating an electromotive force.

  7. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    As noted in the previous section, Faraday's law is not guaranteed to work unless the velocity of the abstract curve ∂Σ matches the actual velocity of the material conducting the electricity. [31] The two examples illustrated below show that one often obtains incorrect results when the motion of ∂Σ is divorced from the motion of the material.

  8. Indian mathematics - Wikipedia

    Bhaskara I (c. 600–680) expanded the work of Aryabhata in his books titled Mahabhaskariya, Aryabhatiya-bhashya and Laghu-bhaskariya. He produced: Solutions of indeterminate equations. A rational approximation of the sine function. A formula for calculating the sine of an acute angle without the use of a table, correct to two decimal places.

  9. Ramanujan's master theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan's_master_theorem

    If the complexity index is positive, select the formula from table 2 for positive complexity index, and compute the integral value as a series expansion with this formula for all possible choices of the free summation indices. Select the lowest complexity index, convergent series expansion, adding series that converge in the same region.
