The substitutions of Euler can be generalized by allowing the use of imaginary numbers. For example, in the integral +, the substitution + = + can be used. Extensions to the complex numbers allows us to use every type of Euler substitution regardless of the coefficients on the quadratic.
Euler's second law states that the rate of change of angular momentum L about a point that is fixed in an inertial reference frame (often the center of mass of the body), is equal to the sum of the external moments of force acting on that body M about that point: [1] [4] [5] =.
According to the fundamental lemma of calculus of variations, the part of the integrand in parentheses is zero, i.e. ′ = which is called the Euler–Lagrange equation. The left hand side of this equation is called the functional derivative of J [ f ] {\displaystyle J[f]} and is denoted δ J {\displaystyle \delta J} or δ f ( x ...
Let y (n) (x) be the nth derivative of the unknown function y(x).Then a Cauchy–Euler equation of order n has the form () + () + + =. The substitution = (that is, = (); for <, in which one might replace all instances of by | |, extending the solution's domain to {}) can be used to reduce this equation to a linear differential equation with constant coefficients.
Traditionally the Newton–Euler equations is the grouping together of Euler's two laws of motion for a rigid body into a single equation with 6 components, using column vectors and matrices. These laws relate the motion of the center of gravity of a rigid body with the sum of forces and torques (or synonymously moments ) acting on the rigid body.
In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body. They are named in honour of Leonhard Euler. Their general vector form is
In integral calculus, Euler's formula for complex numbers may be used to evaluate integrals involving trigonometric functions. Using Euler's formula, any trigonometric function may be written in terms of complex exponential functions, namely e i x {\displaystyle e^{ix}} and e − i x {\displaystyle e^{-ix}} and then integrated.
In calculus, integration by substitution, also known as u-substitution, reverse chain rule or change of variables, [1] is a method for evaluating integrals and antiderivatives. It is the counterpart to the chain rule for differentiation , and can loosely be thought of as using the chain rule "backwards."
