  2. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Any real number can be written in the form m × 10 ^ n in many ways: for example, 350 can be written as 3.5 × 10 2 or 35 × 10 1 or 350 × 10 0. In normalized scientific notation (called "standard form" in the United Kingdom), the exponent n is chosen so that the absolute value of m remains at least one but less than ten ( 1 ≤ | m | < 10 ).

  3. Partial derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivative

    The difference between the total and partial derivative is the elimination of indirect dependencies between variables in partial derivatives. If (for some arbitrary reason) the cone's proportions have to stay the same, and the height and radius are in a fixed ratio k ,

  4. Zeta potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_potential

    In other words, zeta potential is the potential difference between the dispersion medium and the stationary layer of fluid attached to the dispersed particle. The zeta potential is caused by the net electrical charge contained within the region bounded by the slipping plane, and also depends on the location of that plane. Thus, it is widely ...

  5. Notation for differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_for_differentiation

    Assume that (x, y, z) is a given Cartesian coordinate system, that A is a vector field with components = (,,), and that = (,,) is a scalar field. The differential operator introduced by William Rowan Hamilton , written ∇ and called del or nabla, is symbolically defined in the form of a vector,

  6. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    [contradictory] For example, the number 4 000 000 has a logarithm (in base 10) of 6.602; its order of magnitude is 6. When truncating, a number of this order of magnitude is between 10 6 and 10 7. In a similar example, with the phrase "seven-figure income", the order of magnitude is the number of figures minus one, so it is very easily ...

  7. Pauli matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_matrices

    All three of the Pauli matrices can be compacted into a single expression: = (+), where the solution to i 2 = −1 is the "imaginary unit", and δ jk is the Kronecker delta, which equals +1 if j = k and 0 otherwise.

  9. Argument (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_(complex_analysis)

    Figure 1. This Argand diagram represents the complex number lying on a plane.For each point on the plane, arg is the function which returns the angle . In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and the line joining the origin and z, represented as a point in the complex plane, shown as in ...
