  2. Fourier transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform

    An example application of the Fourier transform is determining the constituent pitches in a musical waveform.This image is the result of applying a constant-Q transform (a Fourier-related transform) to the waveform of a C major piano chord.

  3. Transverse wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_wave

    The standard example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave or "pressure wave" in gases, liquids, or solids, whose oscillations cause compression and expansion of the material through which the wave is propagating. Pressure waves are called "primary waves", or "P-waves" in geophysics. Water waves involve both longitudinal and transverse motions ...

  4. Bessel function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel_function

    Bessel functions describe the radial part of vibrations of a circular membrane.. Bessel functions, first defined by the mathematician Daniel Bernoulli and then generalized by Friedrich Bessel, are canonical solutions y(x) of Bessel's differential equation + + = for an arbitrary complex number, which represents the order of the Bessel function.

  5. Gibbs free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_free_energy

    Any number of extra terms may be added, depending on the particular system being considered. Aside from mechanical work , a system may, in addition, perform numerous other types of work. For example, in the infinitesimal expression, the contractile work energy associated with a thermodynamic system that is a contractile fiber that shortens by ...

  6. Pi function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_function

    In mathematics, at least four different functions are known as the pi or Pi function: (pi function) – the prime-counting function()(Pi function) – the gamma function when offset to coincide with the factorial

  7. Dimensionless physical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Dimensionless_physical_constant

    The term fundamental physical constant is sometimes used to refer to some universal dimensionless constants. Perhaps the best-known example is the fine-structure constant, α, which has an approximate value of ⁠ 1 / 137.036 ⁠. [2]

  8. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  9. Look-and-say sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-and-say_sequence

    To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, read off the digits of the previous member, counting the number of digits in groups of the same digit. For example: 1 is read off as "one 1" or 11. 11 is read off as "two 1s" or 21. 21 is read off as "one 2, one 1" or 1211. 1211 is read off as "one 1, one 2, two 1s" or 111221.
