  2. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity.Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations.

  3. Hypercomplex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercomplex_number

    Putting aside the bases which contain an element e i such that e i 2 = 0 (i.e. directions in the original space over which the quadratic form was degenerate), the remaining Clifford algebras can be identified by the label Cl p,q (), indicating that the algebra is constructed from p simple basis elements with e i 2 = +1, q with e i 2 = −1, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferent_and_epicycle

    The epicycles of the planets in orbit around Earth (Earth at the center). The path-line is the combined motion of the planet's orbit (deferent) around Earth and within the orbit itself (epicycle).

    Where and are the velocities in the x and y directions respectively normalized by the free stream velocity, and are the x and y coordinates non-dimensionalized by a relevant length scale, is the Reynolds number, is the Prandtl number, and is the non-dimensional temperature, which is defined by the local, minimum, and maximum temperatures:

  6. Differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_equation

    In mathematics, a differential equation is an equation that relates one or more unknown functions and their derivatives. [1] In applications, the functions generally represent physical quantities, the derivatives represent their rates of change, and the differential equation defines a relationship between the two.

    In case is zero, i.e. and have opposite directions, all orbital planes containing corresponding line are equally adequate and the transfer angle for the first passage through ¯ will be . For any α {\displaystyle \alpha } with 0 < α < ∞ {\displaystyle 0<\alpha <\infty } the triangle formed by P 1 {\displaystyle P_{1}} , P 2 {\displaystyle P ...

  8. Central differencing scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_differencing_scheme

    It requires that transportiveness changes according to magnitude of peclet number i.e. when pe is zero is spread in all directions equally and as Pe increases (convection > diffusion) at a point largely depends on upstream value and less on downstream value. But central differencing scheme does not possess transportiveness at higher pe since Φ ...

  9. Angle bisector theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_bisector_theorem

    Consider a triangle ABC.Let the angle bisector of angle ∠ A intersect side BC at a point D between B and C.The angle bisector theorem states that the ratio of the length of the line segment BD to the length of segment CD is equal to the ratio of the length of side AB to the length of side AC:
