  2. Modulo (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_(mathematics)

    Modulo is a mathematical jargon that was introduced into mathematics in the book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1801. [3] Given the integers a, b and n, the expression "a ≡ b (mod n)", pronounced "a is congruent to b modulo n", means that a − b is an integer multiple of n, or equivalently, a and b both share the same remainder when divided by n.

  3. Van 't Hoff factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_factor

    When solute particles neither dissociate nor associate in solution, i equals 1 (e.g. glucose in water). The value of i is the actual number of particles in solution after dissociation divided by the number of formula units initially dissolved in solution and means the number of particles per formula unit of the solute when a solution is dilute.

  4. Wheel theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_theory

    A wheel is an algebraic structure (,,, +,, /), in which . is a set, and are elements of that set, + and are binary operations, / is a unary operation, and satisfying the following properties:

  5. Fundamental theorem of algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_algebra

    The fundamental theorem of algebra, also called d'Alembert's theorem [1] or the d'Alembert–Gauss theorem, [2] states that every non-constant single-variable polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex root. This includes polynomials with real coefficients, since every real number is a complex number with its imaginary part ...

  6. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    Simplified model for powering a load with resistance R L by a source with voltage V S and resistance R S.. The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule [4]) to imply that a system consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient, since the power dissipated as heat in the battery would always be equal to the power delivered to the motor when ...

  7. Euclid's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid's_lemma

    The two first subsections, are proofs of the generalized version of Euclid's lemma, namely that: if n divides ab and is coprime with a then it divides b. The original Euclid's lemma follows immediately, since, if n is prime then it divides a or does not divide a in which case it is coprime with a so per the generalized version it divides b.

  8. Titius–Bode law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titius–Bode_law

    The formula suggests that, extending outward, each planet should be approximately twice as far from the Sun as the one before. The hypothesis correctly anticipated the orbits of Ceres (in the asteroid belt) and Uranus, but failed as a predictor of Neptune's orbit. It is named after Johann Daniel Titius and Johann Elert Bode.

  9. Nyquist rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_rate

    Fig 1: Typical example of Nyquist frequency and rate. They are rarely equal, because that would require over-sampling by a factor of 2 (i.e. 4 times the bandwidth). In signal processing , the Nyquist rate , named after Harry Nyquist , is a value equal to twice the highest frequency ( bandwidth ) of a given function or signal.
