  2. Equatorium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorium

    The Albion is an astronomical instrument invented by Richard of Wallingford at the beginning of the 14th century. [5] It has various functional uses such as that of the equatorium for planetary and conjunction computations.

  3. Kelly criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

    Example of the optimal Kelly betting fraction, versus expected return of other fractional bets. In probability theory, the Kelly criterion (or Kelly strategy or Kelly bet) is a formula for sizing a sequence of bets by maximizing the long-term expected value of the logarithm of wealth, which is equivalent to maximizing the long-term expected geometric growth rate.

  4. Antoine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_equation

    The Antoine equation is a class of semi-empirical correlations describing the relation between vapor pressure and temperature for pure substances. The Antoine equation is derived from the Clausius–Clapeyron relation. The equation was presented in 1888 by the French engineer Louis Charles Antoine (1825–1897). [1]

    The Einstein field equations (EFE) may be written in the form: [5] [1] + = EFE on the wall of the Rijksmuseum Boerhaave in Leiden, Netherlands. where is the Einstein tensor, is the metric tensor, is the stress–energy tensor, is the cosmological constant and is the Einstein gravitational constant.

  6. Mathieu function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathieu_function

    Mathieu's differential equations appear in a wide range of contexts in engineering, physics, and applied mathematics. Many of these applications fall into one of two general categories: 1) the analysis of partial differential equations in elliptic geometries, and 2) dynamical problems which involve forces that are periodic in either space or time.

  7. Appleton–Hartree equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appleton–Hartree_equation

    The Appleton–Hartree equation, sometimes also referred to as the Appleton–Lassen equation, is a mathematical expression that describes the refractive index for electromagnetic wave propagation in a cold magnetized plasma.

  8. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates.The equation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, based on the work of Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff who had noted in 1884 that the Van 't Hoff equation for the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants suggests such a formula for the rates of both forward and ...

  9. Abel's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel's_identity

    In mathematics, Abel's identity (also called Abel's formula [1] or Abel's differential equation identity) is an equation that expresses the Wronskian of two solutions of a homogeneous second-order linear ordinary differential equation in terms of a coefficient of the original differential equation.
