  2. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    This can be seen in the following tables, the left of which shows Newton's method applied to the above f(x) = x + x 4/3 and the right of which shows Newton's method applied to f(x) = x + x 2. The quadratic convergence in iteration shown on the right is illustrated by the orders of magnitude in the distance from the iterate to the true root (0,1 ...

  3. Derivations of the Lorentz transformations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivations_of_the_Lorentz...

    In the fundamental branches of modern physics, namely general relativity and its widely applicable subset special relativity, as well as relativistic quantum mechanics and relativistic quantum field theory, the Lorentz transformation is the transformation rule under which all four-vectors and tensors containing physical quantities transform from one frame of reference to another.

  4. List of relativistic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_relativistic_equations

    This is the formula for the relativistic doppler shift where the difference in velocity between the emitter and observer is not on the x-axis. There are two special cases of this equation. The first is the case where the velocity between the emitter and observer is along the x-axis. In that case θ = 0, and cos θ = 1, which gives:

  5. Acceleration (special relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration_(special...

    In order to find out the transformation of three-acceleration, one has to differentiate the spatial coordinates and ′ of the Lorentz transformation with respect to and ′, from which the transformation of three-velocity (also called velocity-addition formula) between and ′ follows, and eventually by another differentiation with respect to and ′ the transformation of three-acceleration ...

  6. Differentiation rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_rules

    The derivative of the function at a point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point. The slope of the constant function is 0, because the tangent line to the constant function is horizontal and its angle is 0.

  7. Jacobi's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi's_formula

    In matrix calculus, Jacobi's formula expresses the derivative of the determinant of a matrix A in terms of the adjugate of A and the derivative of A. [ 1 ] If A is a differentiable map from the real numbers to n × n matrices, then

  8. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    If the mean =, the first factor is 1, and the Fourier transform is, apart from a constant factor, a normal density on the frequency domain, with mean 0 and variance ⁠ / ⁠. In particular, the standard normal distribution ⁠ φ {\displaystyle \varphi } ⁠ is an eigenfunction of the Fourier transform.

  9. Pearson correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_correlation...

    Pearson's correlation coefficient is the covariance of the two variables divided by the product of their standard deviations. The form of the definition involves a "product moment", that is, the mean (the first moment about the origin) of the product of the mean-adjusted random variables; hence the modifier product-moment in the name.
