  2. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    A fictitious force, also known as an inertial force or pseudo-force, is a force that appears to act on an object when its motion is described or experienced from a non-inertial frame of reference. Unlike real forces, which result from physical interactions between objects, fictitious forces occur due to the acceleration of the observer’s ...

  3. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics (also called an "inertial" or "pseudo" force) that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference. It appears to be directed radially away from the axis of rotation of the frame.

  4. Coriolis force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

    The centrifugal force acts outwards in the radial direction and is proportional to the distance of the body from the axis of the rotating frame. These additional forces are termed inertial forces, fictitious forces, or pseudo forces. By introducing these fictitious forces to a rotating frame of reference, Newton's laws of motion can be applied ...

  5. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    In classical mechanics, centrifugal force is an outward force associated with rotation.Centrifugal force is one of several so-called pseudo-forces (also known as inertial forces), so named because, unlike real forces, they do not originate in interactions with other bodies situated in the environment of the particle upon which they act.

  6. Non-inertial reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-inertial_reference_frame

    In classical mechanics it is often possible to explain the motion of bodies in non-inertial reference frames by introducing additional fictitious forces (also called inertial forces, pseudo-forces, [5] and d'Alembert forces) to Newton's second law. Common examples of this include the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_electromagnetics

    This method covers the full range of electromagnetics (from static up to high frequency) and optic applications and is the basis for commercial simulation tools: CST Studio Suite developed by Computer Simulation Technology (CST AG) and Electromagnetic Simulation solutions developed by Nimbic.

  8. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians.
