  2. Jefimenko's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefimenko's_equations

    Jefimenko says, "...neither Maxwell's equations nor their solutions indicate an existence of causal links between electric and magnetic fields. Therefore, we must conclude that an electromagnetic field is a dual entity always having an electric and a magnetic component simultaneously created by their common sources: time-variable electric ...

  3. Continuity equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_equation

    A continuity equation or transport equation is an equation that describes the transport of some quantity. It is particularly simple and powerful when applied to a conserved quantity, but it can be generalized to apply to any extensive quantity.

  4. Chandrasekhar limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrasekhar_limit

    In the nonrelativistic case, electron degeneracy pressure gives rise to an equation of state of the form P = K 1 ρ 5/3, where P is the pressure, ρ is the mass density, and K 1 is a constant. Solving the hydrostatic equation leads to a model white dwarf that is a polytrope of index ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ – and therefore has radius inversely ...

  5. Probability density function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

    In probability theory, a probability density function (PDF), density function, or density of an absolutely continuous random variable, is a function whose value at any given sample (or point) in the sample space (the set of possible values taken by the random variable) can be interpreted as providing a relative likelihood that the value of the ...

  6. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    A solution of an equation is often called a root of the equation, particularly but not only for polynomial equations. The set of all solutions of an equation is its solution set. An equation may be solved either numerically or symbolically. Solving an equation numerically means that only numbers are admitted as solutions.

  7. Hilbert's tenth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_tenth_problem

    Hilbert's tenth problem is the tenth on the list of mathematical problems that the German mathematician David Hilbert posed in 1900. It is the challenge to provide a general algorithm that, for any given Diophantine equation (a polynomial equation with integer coefficients and a finite number of unknowns), can decide whether the equation has a solution with all unknowns taking integer values.

  8. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    The equation to calculate the pressure inside a fluid in equilibrium is: + = where f is the force density exerted by some outer field on the fluid, and σ is the Cauchy stress tensor. In this case the stress tensor is proportional to the identity tensor:

  9. Lebesgue's density theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebesgue's_density_theorem

    The set of points in the plane at which the density is neither 0 nor 1 is non-empty (the square boundary), but it is negligible. The Lebesgue density theorem is a particular case of the Lebesgue differentiation theorem. Thus, this theorem is also true for every finite Borel measure on R n instead of Lebesgue measure, see Discussion.
