  2. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    In the differential form formulation on arbitrary space times, F = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ F αβ ‍ dx α ∧ dx β is the electromagnetic tensor considered as a 2-form, A = A α dx α is the potential 1-form, = is the current 3-form, d is the exterior derivative, and is the Hodge star on forms defined (up to its orientation, i.e. its sign) by the ...

  3. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    Mechanical and electromagnetic waves transfer energy, [1] momentum, and information, but they do not transfer particles in the medium. In mathematics and electronics waves are studied as signals. [2] On the other hand, some waves have envelopes which do not move at all such as standing waves (which are fundamental to music) and hydraulic jumps.

  4. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    Many easily stated number problems have solutions that require sophisticated methods, often from across mathematics. A prominent example is Fermat's Last Theorem . This conjecture was stated in 1637 by Pierre de Fermat, but it was proved only in 1994 by Andrew Wiles , who used tools including scheme theory from algebraic geometry , category ...

  5. Discrete Fourier transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform

    The solution is broken up into plane waves. The multidimensional DFT can be computed by the composition of a sequence of one-dimensional DFTs along each dimension. In the two-dimensional case x n 1 , n 2 {\displaystyle x_{n_{1},n_{2}}} the N 1 {\displaystyle N_{1}} independent DFTs of the rows (i.e., along n 2 {\displaystyle n_{2}} ) are ...

  6. Wave–particle duality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave–particle_duality

    In the late 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton had advocated that light was corpuscular (particulate), but Christiaan Huygens took an opposing wave description. While Newton had favored a particle approach, he was the first to attempt to reconcile both wave and particle theories of light, and the only one in his time to consider both, thereby anticipating modern wave-particle duality.

  7. Fractal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

    [1] [4] [33] To elaborate, in trying to find the length of a wavy non-fractal curve, one could find straight segments of some measuring tool small enough to lay end to end over the waves, where the pieces could get small enough to be considered to conform to the curve in the normal manner of measuring with a tape measure. But in measuring an ...

  8. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    Remark 1: The 2-points–2-tangents property of a parabola is an affine version of the 3-point degeneration of Pascal's theorem. Remark 2: The 2-points–2-tangents property should not be confused with the following property of a parabola, which also deals with 2 points and 2 tangents, but is not related to Pascal's theorem.
