The system of partial differential equations u_t+uu_x+vu_y=U_t+UU_x+mu/rhou_(yy) u_x+v_y=0.

A diagram used in the solution of ordinary differential equations of the form (dw)/(dz)=(g(z,w))/(h(z,q)) which vanish when z=0, where g(0,0)=h(0,0)=0 (Ince 1956, pp. 298 and ...

The system of partial differential equations E_t-v = 0 (1) r_x+omegav = 0 (2) q_x+Ev = 0 (3) v_x-omegar-Eq = 0. (4)

The curve given by the polar equation r=a(1-costheta), (1) sometimes also written r=2b(1-costheta), (2) where b=a/2. The cardioid has Cartesian equation ...

Stirling's approximation gives an approximate value for the factorial function n! or the gamma function Gamma(n) for n>>1. The approximation can most simply be derived for n ...

A hyperboloid is a quadratic surface which may be one- or two-sheeted. The one-sheeted hyperboloid is a surface of revolution obtained by rotating a hyperbola about the ...

An affine transformation is any transformation that preserves collinearity (i.e., all points lying on a line initially still lie on a line after transformation) and ratios of ...

An Archimedean spiral is a spiral with polar equation r=atheta^(1/n), (1) where r is the radial distance, theta is the polar angle, and n is a constant which determines how ...

Archimedes' spiral is an Archimedean spiral with polar equation r=atheta. (1) This spiral was studied by Conon, and later by Archimedes in On Spirals about 225 BC. Archimedes ...
