The term used in physics and engineering for a harmonic function. Potential functions are extremely useful, for example, in electromagnetism, where they reduce the study of a ...

To compute an integral of the form int(dx)/(a+bx+cx^2), (1) complete the square in the denominator to obtain int(dx)/(a+bx+cx^2)=1/cint(dx)/((x+b/(2c))^2+(a/c-(b^2)/(4c^2))). ...

A statistical distribution in which the variates occur with probabilities asymptotically matching their "true" underlying statistical distribution is said to be random.

If Li_2(x) denotes the usual dilogarithm, then there are two variants that are normalized slightly differently, both called the Rogers L-function (Rogers 1907). Bytsko (1999) ...

The sum of the reciprocals of roots of an equation equals the negative coefficient of the linear term in the Maclaurin series.

The period for a quasiperiodic trajectory to pass through the same point in a surface of section. If the rotation number is irrational, the trajectory will densely fill out a ...

An operator relating the past asymptotic state of a dynamical system governed by the Schrödinger equation id/(dt)psi(t)=Hpsi(t) to its future asymptotic state.

The mathematical study of the scattering operator and Schrödinger equation.

The second Morley cubic is the triangle cubic with trilinear equation It passes through Kimberling centers X_n for n=1, 1134, 1135, 1136, and 1137.

Given an ideal A, a semiprime ring is one for which A^n=0 implies A=0 for any positive n. Every prime ring is semiprime.
