  2. Lambert W function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_W_function

    The product logarithm Lambert W function plotted in the complex plane from −2 − 2i to 2 + 2i The graph of y = W(x) for real x < 6 and y > −4. The upper branch (blue) with y ≥ −1 is the graph of the function W 0 (principal branch), the lower branch (magenta) with y ≤ −1 is the graph of the function W −1. The minimum value of x is ...

  3. Values scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Values_scale

    By 1980, the values scale had fallen into disuse due to its archaic content, lack of religious inclusiveness, and dated language. Richard E. Kopelman, et al., recently updated the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values. The motivation behind their update was to make the value scale more relevant to today; they believed that the writing was too ...

  4. Lambert's cosine law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_cosine_law

    Example: A surface with a luminance of say 100 cd/m 2 (= 100 nits, typical PC monitor) will, if it is a perfect Lambert emitter, have a luminous emittance of 100π lm/m 2. If its area is 0.1 m 2 (~19" monitor) then the total light emitted, or luminous flux, would thus be 31.4 lm.

  5. Lambertian reflectance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambertian_reflectance

    Diagram of Lambertian diffuse reflection. The black arrow shows incident radiance, and the red arrows show the reflected radiant intensity in each direction. When viewed from various angles, the reflected radiant intensity and the apparent area of the surface both vary with the cosine of the viewing angle, so the reflected radiance (intensity per unit area) is the same from all viewing angles.

  6. Cylindrical equal-area projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_equal-area...

    Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection of the world; standard parallel at 0° The Lambert (standard parallel at 0°, normal) cylindrical equal-area projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation. In cartography, the normal cylindrical equal-area projection is a family of normal cylindrical, equal-area map projections.

  7. Lambert (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_(unit)

    The lambert (symbol L [1] [2]) is a non-SI metric unit of luminance named for Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728–1777), a Swiss mathematician, physicist and astronomer. A related unit of luminance, the foot-lambert , is used in the lighting, cinema and flight simulation industries.

  8. Lambert's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_problem

    For any value between 2856 seconds and 20741 seconds the Lambert's problem can be solved using an y-value between −20000 km and 50000 km . Assume the following values for an Earth centered Kepler orbit r 1 = 10000 km; r 2 = 16000 km; α = 100° These are the numerical values that correspond to figures 1, 2, and 3.

  9. Lambert series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_series

    In the literature we find Lambert series applied to a wide variety of sums. For example, since / = is a polylogarithm function, we may refer to any sum of the form = = = ()
