An atlas is a collection of consistent coordinate charts on a manifold, where "consistent" most commonly means that the transition functions of the charts are smooth. As the ...

The inhomogeneous Helmholtz differential equation is del ^2psi(r)+k^2psi(r)=rho(r), (1) where the Helmholtz operator is defined as L^~=del ^2+k^2. The Green's function is ...

The tangent space at a point p in an abstract manifold M can be described without the use of embeddings or coordinate charts. The elements of the tangent space are called ...

A smooth curve which corresponds to the limiting case of a histogram computed for a frequency distribution of a continuous distribution as the number of data points becomes ...

The Fourier transform of the generalized function 1/x is given by F_x(-PV1/(pix))(k) = -1/piPVint_(-infty)^infty(e^(-2piikx))/xdx (1) = ...

Riemann defined the function f(x) by f(x) = sum_(p^(nu)<=x; p prime)1/nu (1) = sum_(n=1)^(|_lgx_|)(pi(x^(1/n)))/n (2) = pi(x)+1/2pi(x^(1/2))+1/3pi(x^(1/3))+... (3) (Hardy ...

Let f(x,y) be a homogeneous function of order n so that f(tx,ty)=t^nf(x,y). (1) Then define x^'=xt and y^'=yt. Then nt^(n-1)f(x,y) = ...

For a delta function at (x_0,y_0), R(p,tau) = int_(-infty)^inftyint_(-infty)^inftydelta(x-x_0)delta(y-y_0)delta[y-(tau+px)]dydx (1) = ...

A modified spherical Bessel function of the second kind, also called a "spherical modified Bessel function of the first kind" (Arfken 1985) or (regrettably) a "modified ...

Zeros of the Riemann zeta function zeta(s) come in two different types. So-called "trivial zeros" occur at all negative even integers s=-2, -4, -6, ..., and "nontrivial ...
