  2. Gauss's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law

    Here, the electric field outside (r > R) and inside (r < R) of a charged sphere is being calculated (see Wikiversity). In physics (specifically electromagnetism), Gauss's law, also known as Gauss's flux theorem (or sometimes Gauss's theorem), is one of Maxwell's equations. It is an application of the divergence theorem, and it relates the ...

  3. Competitive exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_exclusion...

    In ecology, the competitive exclusion principle, [1] sometimes referred to as Gause's law, [2] is a proposition that two species which compete for the same limited resource cannot coexist at constant population values. When one species has even the slightest advantage over another, the one with the advantage will dominate in the long term.

  4. Divergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergence_theorem

    In vector calculus, the divergence theorem, also known as Gauss's theorem or Ostrogradsky's theorem, [1] is a theorem relating the flux of a vector field through a closed surface to the divergence of the field in the volume enclosed. More precisely, the divergence theorem states that the surface integral of a vector field over a closed surface ...

  5. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    This problem is known as the primitive circle problem, as it involves searching for primitive solutions to the original circle problem. [9] It can be intuitively understood as the question of how many trees within a distance of r are visible in the Euclid's orchard , standing in the origin.

  6. Gauss's law for gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law_for_gravity

    Gauss's law for gravity. In physics, Gauss's law for gravity, also known as Gauss's flux theorem for gravity, is a law of physics that is equivalent to Newton's law of universal gravitation. It is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. It states that the flux (surface integral) of the gravitational field over any closed surface is proportional to ...

  7. Fundamental theorem of algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_algebra

    Fundamental theorem of algebra. The fundamental theorem of algebra, also called d'Alembert's theorem[1] or the d'Alembert–Gauss theorem, [2] states that every non- constant single-variable polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex root. This includes polynomials with real coefficients, since every real number is a complex ...

  8. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Adding 4 hours to 9 o'clock gives 1 o'clock, since 13 is congruent to 1 modulo 12. In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones ...

  9. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    Maxwell's equations, or Maxwell–Heaviside equations, are a set of coupled partial differential equations that, together with the Lorentz force law, form the foundation of classical electromagnetism, classical optics, electric and magnetic circuits. The equations provide a mathematical model for electric, optical, and radio technologies, such ...
