  2. Parabolic cylinder function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_cylinder_function

    Parabolic cylinder () function appears naturally in the Schrödinger equation for the one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator (a quantum particle in the oscillator potential), [+] = (), where is the reduced Planck constant, is the mass of the particle, is the coordinate of the particle, is the frequency of the oscillator, is the energy, and () is the particle's wave-function.

  3. Parametrization (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametrization_(geometry)

    Parametrization is a mathematical process consisting of expressing the state of a system, process or model as a function of some independent quantities called parameters. The state of the system is generally determined by a finite set of coordinates , and the parametrization thus consists of one function of several real variables for each ...

  4. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    In mathematics, a parametric equation expresses several quantities, such as the coordinates of a point, as functions of one or several variables called parameters. [ 1 ] In the case of a single parameter, parametric equations are commonly used to express the trajectory of a moving point, in which case, the parameter is often, but not ...

  5. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    The paraboloid is hyperbolic if every other plane section is either a hyperbola, or two crossing lines (in the case of a section by a tangent plane). The paraboloid is elliptic if every other nonempty plane section is either an ellipse, or a single point (in the case of a section by a tangent plane). A paraboloid is either elliptic or hyperbolic.

  6. Parametric surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_surface

    The simplest type of parametric surfaces is given by the graphs of functions of two variables: = (,), (,) = (,, (,)). A rational surface is a surface that admits parameterizations by a rational function. A rational surface is an algebraic surface. Given an algebraic surface, it is commonly easier to decide if it is rational than to compute its ...

    On a single-step or immediate-execution calculator, the user presses a key for each operation, calculating all the intermediate results, before the final value is shown. [1] [2] [3] On an expression or formula calculator, one types in an expression and then presses a key, such as "=" or "Enter", to evaluate the expression.

  8. Parabolic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_partial...

    A parabolic partial differential equation is a type of partial differential equation (PDE). Parabolic PDEs are used to describe a wide variety of time-dependent phenomena in, i.a., engineering science, quantum mechanics and financial mathematics.

  9. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    In the theory of quadratic forms, the parabola is the graph of the quadratic form x 2 (or other scalings), while the elliptic paraboloid is the graph of the positive-definite quadratic form x 2 + y 2 (or scalings), and the hyperbolic paraboloid is the graph of the indefinite quadratic form x 2 − y 2. Generalizations to more variables yield ...
