  2. Viète's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viète's_formula

    Viète obtained his formula by comparing the areas of regular polygons with 2 n and 2 n + 1 sides inscribed in a circle. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The first term in the product, 2 / 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}/2} , is the ratio of areas of a square and an octagon , the second term is the ratio of areas of an octagon and a hexadecagon , etc.

  3. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    Euler's identity is also a special case of the more general identity that the n th roots of unity, for n > 1, add up to 0: = = Euler's identity is the case where n = 2. A similar identity also applies to quaternion exponential: let {i, j, k} be the basis quaternions; then,

    The basic quantities describing a sphere (meaning a 2-sphere, a 2-dimensional surface inside 3-dimensional space) will be denoted by the following variables r {\displaystyle r} is the radius, C = 2 π r {\displaystyle C=2\pi r} is the circumference (the length of any one of its great circles ),

    More rapid convergence may be obtained by expanding in terms of = / (+). Found by James Ivory , [ 4 ] Bessel [ 5 ] and Kummer , [ 6 ] there are several equivalent ways to write it The most concise is in terms of the binomial coefficient with n = 1 / 2 {\displaystyle n=1/2} , but it may also be written in terns of the double factorial or integer ...

    The main conjecture of Vinogradov's mean value theorem was that the upper bound is close to this lower bound. More specifically that for any > we have , + + (+) +. This was proved by Jean Bourgain, Ciprian Demeter, and Larry Guth [4] and by a different method by Trevor Wooley.

    XMCD spectrum of iron. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is a difference spectrum of two X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) taken in a magnetic field, one taken with left circularly polarized light, and one with right circularly polarized light. [1]

    The charge density wave (CDW) state in such materials, such as 1T-TaS 2, with a sparsely filled √13x√13 superlattice and r s =70~100 may be considered to be better described in terms of a Wigner crystal than the more traditional charge density wave.
