  2. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    Typically, this is established by fixing two well-defined temperature points and defining temperature increments via a linear function of the response of the thermometric device. For example, both the old Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale were originally based on the linear expansion of a narrow mercury column within a limited range of ...

  3. Temperature coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_coefficient

    A temperature coefficient describes the relative change of a physical property that is associated with a given change in temperature.For a property R that changes when the temperature changes by dT, the temperature coefficient α is defined by the following equation:

  4. Grassmann number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassmann_number

    The only linear function satisfying this condition is a constant (conventionally 1) times B, so Berezin defined [7] ∫ d θ ( A + B θ ) ≡ B . {\displaystyle \int d\theta (A+B\theta )\equiv B.} This results in the following rules for the integration of a Grassmann quantity:

  5. Thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion

    A number of materials contract on heating within certain temperature ranges; this is usually called negative thermal expansion, rather than "thermal contraction".For example, the coefficient of thermal expansion of water drops to zero as it is cooled to 3.983 °C (39.169 °F) and then becomes negative below this temperature; this means that water has a maximum density at this temperature, and ...

  6. Shrink–swell capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrink–swell_capacity

    This property is measured using coefficient of linear extensibility (COLE) values. If a soil has a COLE value greater than 0.06, then it can cause structural damage. [2] A COLE value of 0.06 means that 100 inches of soil will expand by 6 inches when wet. [2] Soils with this shrink-swell capacity fall under the soil order of Vertisols. [6]

  7. Linearization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearization

    The linear approximation of a function is the first order Taylor expansion around the point of interest. In the study of dynamical systems , linearization is a method for assessing the local stability of an equilibrium point of a system of nonlinear differential equations or discrete dynamical systems .

  8. Magnus expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_expansion

    to solve for Ω recursively in terms of A "in a continuous analog of the BCH expansion", as outlined in a subsequent section. The equation above constitutes the Magnus expansion, or Magnus series, for the solution of matrix linear initial-value problem. The first four terms of this series read

  9. Bilinear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear_interpolation

    Example of bilinear interpolation on the unit square with the z values 0, 1, 1 and 0.5 as indicated. Interpolated values in between represented by color. In mathematics, bilinear interpolation is a method for interpolating functions of two variables (e.g., x and y) using repeated linear interpolation.
