  2. Configurational analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configurational_analysis

    Configurational analysis. In cultural and social studies, configurations are patterns of behaviour, movement (→ movement culture) and thinking, which research observes when analysing different cultures and/ or historical changes. The term “configurations” is mostly used by comparative anthropological studies and by cultural history.

  3. Configuration (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_(geometry)

    Configuration in the projective plane that is realized by points and pseudolines is called topological configuration. For instance, it is known that there exists no point-line (19 4) configurations, however, there exists a topological configuration with these parameters. Configurations of points and circles

  4. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    Electron configuration. In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. [1] For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s2 2s2 2p6, meaning that the 1s, 2s, and 2p subshells are occupied by ...

  5. Configuration interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_interaction

    Configuration interaction ( CI) is a post-Hartree–Fock linear variational method for solving the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation within the Born–Oppenheimer approximation for a quantum chemical multi-electron system. Mathematically, configuration simply describes the linear combination of Slater determinants used for the wave function.

  6. Continuum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics

    t. e. Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the deformation of and transmission of forces through materials modeled as a continuous medium (also called a continuum) rather than as discrete particles. The French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy was the first to formulate such models in the 19th century.

  7. Configuration graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_graph

    A configuration graph is a directed labeled graph where the label of the vertices are the possible configurations of the models and where there is an edge from one configuration to another if it correspond to a computational step of the model. [citation needed] The initial and accepting configuration (s) of the machine are special vertices of ...

  8. Systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_theory

    Systems theory is the transdisciplinary [1] study of systems, i.e. cohesive groups of interrelated, interdependent components that can be natural or artificial. Every system has causal boundaries, is influenced by its context, defined by its structure, function and role, and expressed through its relations with other systems.

  9. Molecular orbital theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_theory

    v. t. e. In chemistry, molecular orbital theory (MO theory or MOT) is a method for describing the electronic structure of molecules using quantum mechanics. It was proposed early in the 20th century. In molecular orbital theory, electrons in a molecule are not assigned to individual chemical bonds between atoms, but are treated as moving under ...
