  2. Order of approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_approximation

    In the zeroth-order example above, the quantity "a few" was given, but in the first-order example, the number "4" is given. A first-order approximation of a function (that is, mathematically determining a formula to fit multiple data points) will be a linear approximation, straight line with a slope: a polynomial of degree 1. For example:

  3. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    The tentative rate equation determined by the method of initial rates is therefore normally verified by comparing the concentrations measured over a longer time (several half-lives) with the integrated form of the rate equation; this assumes that the reaction goes to completion. For example, the integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is

  4. Homotopy analysis method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_analysis_method

    Therefore, as q increases from 0 to 1, the solution U(x; q) of the zeroth-order deformation equation varies (or deforms) from the chosen initial guess u 0 (x) to the solution u(x) of the considered nonlinear equation. Expanding U(x; q) in a Taylor series about q = 0, we have the homotopy-Maclaurin series

  5. Perturbation theory (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    that can be solved once we know the solution of the leading order equation. But we know that in this case we can use the adiabatic approximation. When () does not depend on time one gets the Wigner-Kirkwood series that is often used in statistical mechanics. Indeed, in this case we introduce the unitary transformation

  6. Zero order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_order

    Zero order reaction. Zero-order process (statistics), a sequence of random variables, each independent of the previous ones; Zero order process (chemistry), a chemical reaction in which the rate of change of concentration is independent of the concentrations; Zeroth-order approximation, an approximation of a function by a constant

  7. Reaction rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate

    Iron rusting has a low reaction rate. This process is slow. Wood combustion has a high reaction rate. This process is fast. The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. [1]

  8. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    The Swiss Federal Railways number certain classes of rolling stock from zero, for example, Re 460 000 to 118. In the realm of fiction, Isaac Asimov eventually added a Zeroth Law to his Three Laws of Robotics, essentially making them four laws. A standard roulette wheel contains the number 0 as well as 1-36. It appears in green, so is classed as ...

  9. Propositional calculus - Wikipedia

    It is also called propositional logic, [2] statement logic, [1] sentential calculus, [3] sentential logic, [4] [1] or sometimes zeroth-order logic. [ b ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Sometimes, it is called first-order propositional logic [ 9 ] to contrast it with System F , but it should not be confused with first-order logic .
