  2. Baby-step giant-step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby-step_giant-step

    The baby-step giant-step algorithm is a generic algorithm. It works for every finite cyclic group. It is not necessary to know the exact order of the group G in advance. The algorithm still works if n is merely an upper bound on the group order. Usually the baby-step giant-step algorithm is used for groups whose order is prime.

  3. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    From equations and , if ϵ is fixed instead of μ, then Y becomes inversely proportional to n, with the result that the subscripts 1 and 2 in equations to are interchanged (due to the additional step of multiplying the numerator and denominator by n 1 n 2).

  4. Dirac equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_equation

    In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1/2 massive particles, called "Dirac particles", such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry.

  5. Derivations of the Lorentz transformations - Wikipedia

    The usual treatment (e.g., Albert Einstein's original work) is based on the invariance of the speed of light. However, this is not necessarily the starting point: indeed (as is described, for example, in the second volume of the Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz), what is really at stake is the locality of interactions: one supposes that the influence that one particle, say ...

  6. MacCormack method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacCormack_method

    The above equation is obtained by replacing the spatial and temporal derivatives in the previous first order hyperbolic equation using forward differences. Corrector step: In the corrector step, the predicted value is corrected according to the equation

  7. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).

  8. Isaac Newton - Wikipedia

    Sir Isaac Newton FRS (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27 [a]) was an English polymath active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author who was described in his time as a natural philosopher. [7]

  9. Projection method (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_method_(fluid...

    First the system is progressed in time to a mid-time-step position, solving the above transport equations for mass and momentum using a suitable advection method. This is denoted the predictor step. At this point an initial projection may be implemented such that the mid-time-step velocity field is enforced as divergence free.
