  2. Theta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_function

    There are several closely related functions called Jacobi theta functions, and many different and incompatible systems of notation for them. One Jacobi theta function (named after Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi) is a function defined for two complex variables z and τ, where z can be any complex number and τ is the half-period ratio, confined to the upper half-plane, which means it has a positive ...

  3. Centre for Mathematical Sciences (Cambridge) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_for_Mathematical...

    The Centre for Mathematical Sciences (CMS) at the University of Cambridge houses the university's Faculty of Mathematics, [1] the Isaac Newton Institute, and the Betty and Gordon Moore Library. It is situated on Wilberforce Road , on a site which was formerly a St John's College playing field, and has been leased by St John's to the university ...

  4. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The radial distance from the fixed point of origin is also called the radius, or radial line, or radial coordinate.The polar angle may be called inclination angle, zenith angle, normal angle, or the colatitude.

  5. Theta characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_characteristic

    In mathematics, a theta characteristic of a non-singular algebraic curve C is a divisor class Θ such that 2Θ is the canonical class. In terms of holomorphic line bundles L on a connected compact Riemann surface , it is therefore L such that L 2 is the canonical bundle , here also equivalently the holomorphic cotangent bundle .

  6. X-bar chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-bar_chart

    The X-bar chart is always used in conjunction with a variation chart such as the ¯ and R chart or ¯ and s chart. The R-chart shows sample ranges (difference between the largest and the smallest values in the sample), while the s-chart shows the samples' standard deviation. The R-chart was preferred in times when calculations were performed ...

  7. Ramanujan theta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan_theta_function

    In mathematics, particularly q-analog theory, the Ramanujan theta function generalizes the form of the Jacobi theta functions, while capturing their general properties. In particular, the Jacobi triple product takes on a particularly elegant form when written in terms of the Ramanujan theta. The function is named after mathematician Srinivasa ...

  8. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The red section on the right, d, is the difference between the lengths of the hypotenuse, H, and the adjacent side, A. As is shown, H and A are almost the same length, meaning cos θ is close to 1 and ⁠ θ 2 / 2 ⁠ helps trim the red away. ⁡

  9. Riemann–Siegel theta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann–Siegel_theta...

    In mathematics, the Riemann–Siegel theta function is defined in terms of the gamma function as = ⁡ ((+)) ⁡for real values of t.Here the argument is chosen in such a way that a continuous function is obtained and () = holds, i.e., in the same way that the principal branch of the log-gamma function is defined.
