  2. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    The three-body problem is a special case of the n-body problem, which describes how n objects move under one of the physical forces, such as gravity. These problems have a global analytical solution in the form of a convergent power series, as was proven by Karl F. Sundman for n = 3 and by Qiudong Wang for n > 3 (see n -body problem for details).

  3. Riemann–Hilbert correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann–Hilbert...

    Suppose that X is a smooth complex algebraic variety.. Riemann–Hilbert correspondence (for regular singular connections): there is a functor Sol called the local solutions functor, that is an equivalence from the category of flat connections on algebraic vector bundles on X with regular singularities to the category of local systems of finite-dimensional complex vector spaces on X.

  4. Euclidean vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector

    A vector pointing from A to B. In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector or simply a vector (sometimes called a geometric vector [1] or spatial vector [2]) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction. Euclidean vectors can be added and scaled to form a vector space.

  5. Vector (mathematics and physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and...

    A free vector is a vector quantity having an undefined support or region of application; it can be freely translated with no consequences; a displacement vector is a prototypical example of free vector. Aside from the notion of units and support, physical vector quantities may also differ from Euclidean vectors in terms of metric.

  6. Lists of vector identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_vector_identities

    Vector algebra relations — regarding operations on individual vectors such as dot product, cross product, etc. Vector calculus identities — regarding operations on vector fields such as divergence, gradient, curl, etc.

  7. Parallelogram of force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_of_force

    This procedure can be repeated to add F 3 to the resultant F 1 + F 2, and so forth. The parallelogram of forces is a method for solving (or visualizing) the results of applying two forces to an object. When more than two forces are involved, the geometry is no longer a parallelogram, but the same principles apply to a polygon of forces.

  8. Vector-valued function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector-valued_function

    A graph of the vector-valued function r(z) = 2 cos z, 4 sin z, z indicating a range of solutions and the vector when evaluated near z = 19.5. A common example of a vector-valued function is one that depends on a single real parameter t, often representing time, producing a vector v(t) as the result.

  9. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    The x direction may be chosen to point down the ramp in an inclined plane problem, for example. In that case the friction force only has an x component, and the normal force only has a y component. The force of gravity would then have components in both the x and y directions: mg sin( θ ) in the x and mg cos( θ ) in the y , where θ is the ...
