  2. Configuration space (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_space...

    In mathematics, a configuration space is a construction closely related to state spaces or phase spaces in physics. In physics, these are used to describe the state of a whole system as a single point in a high-dimensional space. In mathematics, they are used to describe assignments of a collection of points to positions in a topological space.

  3. Configuration space (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The set of coordinates that define the position of a reference point and the orientation of a coordinate frame attached to a rigid body in three-dimensional space form its configuration space, often denoted () where represents the coordinates of the origin of the frame attached to the body, and () represents the rotation matrices that define the orientation of this frame relative to a ground ...

  4. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law.Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R 2 of the regression is relatively high.. In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R 2 or r 2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).

  5. Inverse-square law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

    S represents the light source, while r represents the measured points. The lines represent the flux emanating from the sources and fluxes. The total number of flux lines depends on the strength of the light source and is constant with increasing distance, where a greater density of flux lines (lines per unit area) means a stronger energy field.

  6. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    While the values of the physical constants are independent of the system of units in use, each uncertainty as stated reflects our lack of knowledge of the corresponding value as expressed in SI units, and is strongly dependent on how those units are defined.

  7. List of common physics notations - Wikipedia

    Meaning SI unit of measure alpha: alpha particle: angular acceleration: radian per second squared (rad/s 2) fine-structure constant: unitless beta: velocity in terms of the speed of light c: unitless beta particle: gamma: Lorentz factor: unitless photon: gamma ray: shear strain: radian

  8. Symmetry group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_group

    As an example, consider the dihedral group G = D 3 = Sym(X), where X is an equilateral triangle. We may decorate this with an arrow on one edge, obtaining an asymmetric figure X # . Letting τ ∈ G be the reflection of the arrowed edge, the composite figure X + = X # ∪ τ X # has a bidirectional arrow on that edge, and its symmetry group is ...

  9. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The external surface area A of the cap equals r2 only if solid angle of the cone is exactly 1 steradian. Hence, in this figure θ = A /2 and r = 1 . The solid angle of a cone with its apex at the apex of the solid angle, and with apex angle 2 θ , is the area of a spherical cap on a unit sphere
