  2. Theta constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_constant

    If n = 1 and a and b are both 0 or 1/2, then the functions θ a,b (τ,z) are the four Jacobi theta functions, and the functions θ a,b (τ,0) are the classical Jacobi theta constants. The theta constant θ 1/2,1/2 (τ,0) is identically zero, but the other three can be nonzero.

  3. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

    theta: angular displacement: radian (rad) kappa: torsion coefficient also called torsion constant newton meter per radian (N⋅m/rad) lambda: cosmological constant: per second squared (s −2) wavelength: meter (m) linear charge density: coulomb per meter (C/m) eigenvalue: non-zero vector

  5. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    The torsion constant or torsion coefficient is a geometrical property of a bar's cross-section. It is involved in the relationship between angle of twist and applied torque along the axis of the bar, for a homogeneous linear elastic bar. The torsion constant, together with material properties and length, describes a bar's torsional stiffness.

  6. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    This (unit sphere) simplification is also useful when dealing with objects such as rotational matrices. Spherical coordinates are also useful in analyzing systems that have some degree of symmetry about a point, including: volume integrals inside a sphere; the potential energy field surrounding a concentrated mass or charge; or global weather ...

    For a lattice L in Euclidean space R n with unit covolume, i.e. vol(R n /L) = 1, let λ 1 (L) denote the least length of a nonzero element of L. Then √γ n n is the maximum of λ 1 (L) over all such lattices L.
