  2. Helicity (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicity_(particle_physics)

    In 3 + 1 dimensions, the little group for a massless particle is the double cover of SE(2).This has unitary representations which are invariant under the SE(2) "translations" and transform as e ihθ under a SE(2) rotation by θ.

  3. Angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

    The trivial case of the angular momentum of a body in an orbit is given by = where is the mass of the orbiting object, is the orbit's frequency and is the orbit's radius.. The angular momentum of a uniform rigid sphere rotating around its axis, instead, is given by = where is the sphere's mass, is the frequency of rotation and is the sphere's radius.

  4. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [1] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. [2] [3] [4] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    Mathematical notation is widely used in science and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise, unambiguous, and accurate way. This notation consists of symbols used for representing operations , unspecified numbers, relations and any other mathematical objects, and then assembling them into expressions and ...

  7. Fundamental group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_group

    Generalizing the statement above, for a family of path connected spaces , the fundamental group () is the free product of the fundamental groups of the . [10] This fact is a special case of the Seifert–van Kampen theorem, which allows to compute, more generally, fundamental groups of spaces that are glued together from other spaces.

  8. Turing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine

    A Turing machine is equivalent to a single-stack pushdown automaton (PDA) that has been made more flexible and concise by relaxing the last-in-first-out (LIFO) requirement of its stack. In addition, a Turing machine is also equivalent to a two-stack PDA with standard LIFO semantics, by using one stack to model the tape left of the head and the ...

    Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (or Leibnitz; [a] 1 July 1646 [O.S. 21 June] – 14 November 1716) was a German polymath active as a mathematician, philosopher, scientist and diplomat who is credited, alongside Sir Isaac Newton, with the creation of calculus in addition to many other branches of mathematics, such as binary arithmetic and statistics.
