  2. Euclidean rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_rhythm

    The Euclidean rhythm in music was discovered by Godfried Toussaint in 2004 and is described in a 2005 paper "The Euclidean Algorithm Generates Traditional Musical Rhythms". [1] The greatest common divisor of two numbers is used rhythmically giving the number of beats and silences, generating almost all of the most important world music rhythms ...

  4. Music and mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_and_mathematics

    Music theory analyzes the pitch, timing, and structure of music. It uses mathematics to study elements of music such as tempo, chord progression, form, and meter. The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory, abstract algebra and number theory.

    These often had common calculations directly expressed as special scales, for example loan calculations, optimal purchase quantities, or particular engineering equations. For example, the Fisher Controls company distributed a customized slide rule adapted to solving the equations used for selecting the proper size of industrial flow control valves.

  6. Functional equation (L-function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_equation_(L...

    Just the same shape of functional equation holds for the Dedekind zeta function of a number field K, with an appropriate gamma-factor that depends only on the embeddings of K (in algebraic terms, on the tensor product of K with the real field). There is a similar equation for the Dirichlet L-functions, but this time relating them in pairs: [1]

  7. Chézy formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chézy_formula

    The Chézy formula describes mean flow velocity in turbulent open channel flow and is used broadly in fields related to fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics. Open channels refer to any open conduit, such as rivers, ditches, canals, or partially full pipes. The Chézy formula is defined for uniform equilibrium and non-uniform, gradually varied flows.

  8. Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert...

    The LLG equation describes the rotation of the magnetization in response to the effective field H eff and accounts for not only a real magnetic field but also internal magnetic interactions such as exchange and anisotropy. An earlier, but equivalent, equation (the Landau–Lifshitz equation) was introduced by Landau & Lifshitz (1935): [1]

  9. Dirichlet L-function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_L-function

    The Dirichlet L-function L(s, χ) = 1 − 3 −s + 5 −s − 7 −s + ⋅⋅⋅ (sometimes given the special name Dirichlet beta function), with trivial zeros at the negative odd integers. Let χ be a primitive character modulo q, with q > 1. There are no zeros of L(s, χ) with Re(s) > 1. For Re(s) < 0, there are zeros at certain negative ...
