  2. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  3. Annihilator method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilator_method

    In mathematics, the annihilator method is a procedure used to find a particular solution to certain types of non-homogeneous ordinary differential equations (ODEs). [1] It is similar to the method of undetermined coefficients, but instead of guessing the particular solution in the method of undetermined coefficients, the particular solution is determined systematically in this technique.

  4. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    The binomial approximation for the square root, + + /, can be applied for the following expression, + where and are real but .. The mathematical form for the binomial approximation can be recovered by factoring out the large term and recalling that a square root is the same as a power of one half.

  5. Polynomial ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_ring

    If K is a commutative ring, the polynomial ring K[X 1, …, X n] has the following universal property: for every commutative K-algebra A, and every n-tuple (x 1, …, x n) of elements of A, there is a unique algebra homomorphism from K[X 1, …, X n] to A that maps each to the corresponding .

    Here ⁡ is an angle in the unit circle; taking ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ of that angle corresponds to taking a cube root of a complex number; adding −k ⁠ 2 π / 3for k = 1, 2 finds the other cube roots; and multiplying the cosines of these resulting angles by corrects for scale.

    The covariance function K X satisfies the definition of a Mercer kernel. By Mercer's theorem, there consequently exists a set λ k, e k (t) of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of T K X forming an orthonormal basis of L 2 ([a,b]), and K X can be expressed as (,) = = ()
