1 day ago · e. In mathematics, a series is, roughly speaking, an addition of infinitely many terms, one after the other. [ 1 ] The study of series is a major part of calculus and its generalization, mathematical analysis. Series are used in most areas of mathematics, even for studying finite structures in combinatorics through generating functions.
3 hours ago · A cannonball’s frictionless flight can be captured by the simple equational model: dx/dt = c; d 2 y/dt 2 = −g (call these *). The simplest form of finite difference approximation (Euler’s method) will supply a credible portrait of its flight on graph paper if we choose the grid size small enough.
1 day ago · The physical phenomenon was explained by Rutherford in a classic 1911 paper that eventually lead to the widespread use of scattering in particle physics to study subatomic matter. Rutherford scattering or Coulomb scattering is the elastic scattering of charged particles by the Coulomb interaction.
3 hours ago · Otto Hahn (pronounced [ˈɔtoː ˈhaːn] ⓘ; 8 March 1879 – 28 July 1968) was a German chemist who was a pioneer in the fields of radioactivity and radiochemistry. He is referred to as the father of nuclear chemistry and father of nuclear fission. Hahn and Lise Meitner discovered isotopes of the radioactive elements radium, thorium ...
3 hours ago · The classical Kepler motion is the model depicting the revolution of planets around the Sun, or the revolution of the electrons around the nucleus, within the framework of classical dynamics. The image is usually rendered with reference to material points taken as pure positions, and can be dynamically explained with the help of Newtonian ...
3 hours ago · 3.1 Considerations of the Frame Concept. Both experimental and theoretical physics pay tribute to the notion of frame. The position and/or motion of a body can only be described with respect to a certain frame. From the experimental point of view, the frame is given by a system of bodies—or, in a more abstract manner—of points relatively ...
3 hours ago · The history of scientific method considers changes in the methodology of scientific inquiry, not the history of science itself. The development of rules for scientific reasoning has not been straightforward; scientific method has been the subject of intense and recurring debate throughout the history of science, and eminent natural philosophers and scientists have argued for the primacy of ...
