  3. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    Writing the wave equations in the light-cone coordinates returns this equation without utilizing any approximation. Gaussian beams of any beam waist w 0 satisfy the paraxial approximation to the scalar wave equation; this is most easily verified by expressing the wave at z in terms of the complex beam parameter q(z) as defined above. There are ...

  4. Unit sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_sphere

    The classical equation of a unit sphere is that of the ellipsoid with a radius of 1 and no alterations to the -, -, or - axes: x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=1} The volume of the unit ball in Euclidean n {\displaystyle n} -space, and the surface area of the unit sphere, appear in many important formulas of analysis .

  5. Canonical form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_form

    In mathematics and computer science, a canonical, normal, or standard form of a mathematical object is a standard way of presenting that object as a mathematical expression. Often, it is one which provides the simplest representation of an object and allows it to be identified in a unique way. The distinction between "canonical" and "normal ...

  6. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    n. -ball. Volumes of balls in dimensions 0 through 25; unit ball in red. In geometry, a ball is a region in a space comprising all points within a fixed distance, called the radius, from a given point; that is, it is the region enclosed by a sphere or hypersphere. An n -ball is a ball in an n -dimensional Euclidean space.

  7. Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics

    Performing a Legendre transformation on the generalized coordinate Lagrangian L(q, dq/dt, t) obtains the generalized momenta Lagrangian L′(p, dp/dt, t) in terms of the original Lagrangian, as well the EL equations in terms of the generalized momenta. Both Lagrangians contain the same information, and either can be used to solve for the motion ...

  8. Lp space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lp_space

    L p spaces form an important class of Banach spaces in functional analysis, and of topological vector spaces. Because of their key role in the mathematical analysis of measure and probability spaces, Lebesgue spaces are used also in the theoretical discussion of problems in physics, statistics, economics, finance, engineering, and other ...

  9. Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann–Lemaître...

    The Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric (FLRW; / ˈ f r iː d m ə n l ə ˈ m ɛ t r ə ... /) is a metric based on an exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity. The metric describes a homogeneous, isotropic, expanding (or otherwise, contracting) universe that is path-connected, but not necessarily ...
