  3. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    Collision theory is a principle of chemistry used to predict the rates of chemical reactions. It states that when suitable particles of the reactant hit each other with the correct orientation, only a certain amount of collisions result in a perceptible or notable change; these successful changes are called successful collisions.

  4. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    The Feynman diagrams are much easier to keep track of than "old-fashioned" terms, because the old-fashioned way treats the particle and antiparticle contributions as separate. Each Feynman diagram is the sum of exponentially many old-fashioned terms, because each internal line can separately represent either a particle or an antiparticle.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon's_needle_problem

    In probability theory, Buffon's needle problem is a question first posed in the 18th century by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon: [1] Suppose we have a floor made of parallel strips of wood , each the same width, and we drop a needle onto the floor.

  6. Deep inelastic scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_inelastic_scattering

    The collision absorbs some kinetic energy, and as such it is inelastic. This is a contrast to Rutherford scattering, which is elastic: no loss of kinetic energy. The electron emerges from the nucleus, and its trajectory and velocity can be detected. Analysis of the results led to the conclusion that hadrons do indeed have internal structure.

  7. Force-directed graph drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-directed_graph_drawing

    Force-directed graph drawing algorithms assign forces among the set of edges and the set of nodes of a graph drawing.Typically, spring-like attractive forces based on Hooke's law are used to attract pairs of endpoints of the graph's edges towards each other, while simultaneously repulsive forces like those of electrically charged particles based on Coulomb's law are used to separate all pairs ...

  8. Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges-Louis_Leclerc...

    Georges Louis Leclerc (later Comte de Buffon) was born at Montbard, in the province of Burgundy to Benjamin François Leclerc, a minor local official in charge of the salt tax and Anne-Christine Marlin, also from a family of civil servants.

  9. Diagram (mathematical logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagram_(mathematical_logic)

    In model theory, a branch of mathematical logic, the diagram of a structure is a simple but powerful concept for proving useful properties of a theory, for example the amalgamation property and the joint embedding property, among others.
