  2. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    Local maximum at x = −1− √ 15 /3, local minimum at x = −1+ √ 15 /3, global maximum at x = 2 and global minimum at x = −4. For a practical example, [ 6 ] assume a situation where someone has 200 {\displaystyle 200} feet of fencing and is trying to maximize the square footage of a rectangular enclosure, where x {\displaystyle x} is ...

  3. Derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_test

    The first-derivative test is helpful in solving optimization problems in physics, economics, and engineering. In conjunction with the extreme value theorem, it can be used to find the absolute maximum and minimum of a real-valued function defined on a closed and bounded interval.

  4. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electromagnetism...

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  5. Extreme value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_value_theorem

    A continuous function () on the closed interval [,] showing the absolute max (red) and the absolute min (blue).. In calculus, the extreme value theorem states that if a real-valued function is continuous on the closed and bounded interval [,], then must attain a maximum and a minimum, each at least once.

  6. Absolute magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_magnitude

    Absolute magnitudes are denoted by a capital M, with a subscript representing the filter band used for measurement, such as M V for absolute magnitude in the V band. An object's absolute bolometric magnitude (M bol) represents its total luminosity over all wavelengths, rather than in a single filter band, as expressed on a logarithmic magnitude ...

  7. Uncertainty principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

    where = is the reduced Planck constant.. The quintessentially quantum mechanical uncertainty principle comes in many forms other than position–momentum. The energy–time relationship is widely used to relate quantum state lifetime to measured energy widths but its formal derivation is fraught with confusing issues about the nature of time.

  8. Average absolute deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_absolute_deviation

    The maximum absolute deviation around an arbitrary point is the maximum of the absolute deviations of a sample from that point. While not strictly a measure of central tendency, the maximum absolute deviation can be found using the formula for the average absolute deviation as above with m ( X ) = max ( X ) {\displaystyle m(X)=\max(X)} , where ...

  9. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    For example, an experimental uncertainty analysis of an undergraduate physics lab experiment in which a pendulum can estimate the value of the local gravitational acceleration constant g.
