    The polar angle is denoted by [,]: it is the angle between the z-axis and the radial vector connecting the origin to the point in question. The azimuthal angle is denoted by φ ∈ [ 0 , 2 π ] {\displaystyle \varphi \in [0,2\pi ]} : it is the angle between the x -axis and the projection of the radial vector onto the xy -plane.

  3. Lanczos algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanczos_algorithm

    The matrix–vector multiplication can be done in () arithmetical operations where is the average number of nonzero elements in a row. The total complexity is thus O ( d m n ) {\displaystyle O(dmn)} , or O ( d n 2 ) {\displaystyle O(dn^{2})} if m = n {\displaystyle m=n} ; the Lanczos algorithm can be very fast for sparse matrices.

  4. Gauss's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_method

    The initial derivation begins with vector addition to determine the orbiting body's position vector. Then based on the conservation of angular momentum and Keplerian orbit principles (which states that an orbit lies in a two dimensional plane in three dimensional space), a linear combination of said position vectors is established.

  5. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

  6. Takens's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takens's_theorem

    Rössler attractor reconstructed by Takens' theorem, using different delay lengths. Orbits around the attractor have a period between 5.2 and 6.2. In the study of dynamical systems, a delay embedding theorem gives the conditions under which a chaotic dynamical system can be reconstructed from a sequence of observations of the state of that system.

  7. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    A triangle is a polygon with three corners and three sides, one of the basic shapes in geometry.The corners, also called vertices, are zero-dimensional points while the sides connecting them, also called edges, are one-dimensional line segments.

  8. Wind triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_triangle

    The ground vector represents the motion of the aircraft over the ground. It is described by ground track and ground speed. The ground vector is the resultant of algebraically adding the air vector and the wind vector. The wind triangle describes the relationships among the quantities used in air navigation. When two of the three vectors, or ...

  9. Quasi-Newton method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-Newton_method

    In numerical analysis, a quasi-Newton method is an iterative numerical method used either to find zeroes or to find local maxima and minima of functions via an iterative recurrence formula much like the one for Newton's method, except using approximations of the derivatives of the functions in place of exact derivatives.
