  2. Divergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergence_theorem

    In vector calculus, the divergence theorem, also known as Gauss's theorem or Ostrogradsky's theorem, [1] is a theorem relating the flux of a vector field through a closed surface to the divergence of the field in the volume enclosed.

  3. Gauss's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law

    In physics (specifically electromagnetism), Gauss's law, also known as Gauss's flux theorem (or sometimes Gauss's theorem), is one of Maxwell's equations. It is an application of the divergence theorem , and it relates the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field .

  4. Theorema Egregium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorema_egregium

    Gauss's original statement of the Theorema Egregium, translated from Latin into English. The theorem is "remarkable" because the definition of Gaussian curvature makes ample reference to the specific way the surface is embedded in 3-dimensional space, and it is quite surprising that the result does not depend on its embedding.

  5. Gauss's law for gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law_for_gravity

    In physics, Gauss's law for gravity, also known as Gauss's flux theorem for gravity, is a law of physics that is equivalent to Newton's law of universal gravitation. It is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. It states that the flux (surface integral) of the gravitational field over any closed surface is proportional to the mass enclosed. Gauss's ...

  6. Gauss's lemma (polynomials) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_lemma_(polynomials)

    In algebra, Gauss's lemma, [1] named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, is a theorem [note 1] about polynomials over the integers, or, more generally, over a unique factorization domain (that is, a ring that has a unique factorization property similar to the fundamental theorem of arithmetic). Gauss's lemma underlies all the theory of factorization ...

  7. Gauss–Lucas theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Lucas_theorem

    The Gauss–Lucas theorem, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss and Félix Lucas, is similar in spirit to Rolle's theorem. Illustration of Gauss–Lucas theorem, displaying the evolution of the roots of the derivatives of a polynomial.

  8. Four-gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-gradient

    As a component of the 4D Gauss' Theorem / Stokes' Theorem / Divergence Theorem [ edit ] In vector calculus , the divergence theorem , also known as Gauss's theorem or Ostrogradsky's theorem, is a result that relates the flow (that is, flux ) of a vector field through a surface to the behavior of the vector field inside the surface.

  9. Gaussian curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_curvature

    Gauss's Theorema egregium (Latin: "remarkable theorem") states that Gaussian curvature of a surface can be determined from the measurements of length on the surface itself. In fact, it can be found given the full knowledge of the first fundamental form and expressed via the first fundamental form and its partial derivatives of first and second ...
