Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic functions.German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics."
Nikola Tesla (/ ˈ n ɪ k ə l ə ˈ t ɛ s l ə /; [1] Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла, [nǐkola têsla]; 10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American [2] [3] engineer, futurist, and inventor. He is known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. [4]
1. The class number of a number field is the cardinality of the ideal class group of the field. 2. In group theory, the class number is the number of conjugacy classes of a group. 3. Class number is the number of equivalence classes of binary quadratic forms of a given discriminant. 4. The class number problem. conductor

A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891. [1] It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity. [2] [3] Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.
On January 9, 1943, two days after Nikola Tesla died destitute in a New York City hotel, the FBI called MIT professor and esteemed electrical engineer, John G. Trump, to determine if any of the ...

The theory showed that spontaneous emission depends upon the zero-point energy fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in order to get started. [56] [57] In a process in which a photon is annihilated (absorbed), the photon can be thought of as making a transition into the vacuum state. Similarly, when a photon is created (emitted), it is ...
