11Cnoidal wave — US Army bombers flying over near periodic swell in shallow water, close to the Panama coast (1933). The sharp crests and very flat troughs are characteristic for cnoidal waves. In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear and exact periodic… …
12Eötvös effect — In the early 1900s a German team from the Institute of Geodesy in Potsdam carried out gravity measurements on moving ships in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. While studying their results the Hungarian nobleman and physicist Baron Roland… …
13Tau (2π) — Some special angles in radians Part of a series of articles …
14Tangent half-angle formula — In various applications of trigonometry, it is useful to rewrite the trigonometric functions (such as sine and cosine) in terms of rational functions of a new variable t . These identities are known collectively as the tangent half angle formulae …
15Euclidean vector — This article is about the vectors mainly used in physics and engineering to represent directed quantities. For mathematical vectors in general, see Vector (mathematics and physics). For other uses, see vector. Illustration of a vector …
16Sine wave — Sinusoid redirects here. For the blood vessel, see Sinusoid (blood vessel). The graphs of the sine and cosine functions are sinusoids of different phases. The sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical function that describes a smooth repetitive… …
17Arthur Thomas Doodson — Dr. Arthur Thomas Doodson (1890 1968) spent much of his life developing the analysis of tidal motions mainly in the oceans but also in lakes, and was the first to devise methods for shallow water as in estuaries. Tide height and current tables… …
18Vibration — For the soul music group, see The Vibrations. For the machining context, see Machining vibrations. For the albums, see Vibrations (Roy Ayers album) and Vibrations (The Three Sounds album). Classical mechanics …
19Shell theorem — In classical mechanics, the shell theorem gives gravitational simplifications that can be applied to objects inside or outside a spherically symmetrical body. This theorem has particular application to astronomy. Isaac Newton proved the shell… …
20Least-squares spectral analysis — (LSSA) is a method of estimating a frequency spectrum, based on a least squares fit of sinusoids to data samples, similar to Fourier analysis. [cite book | title = Variable Stars As Essential Astrophysical Tools | author = Cafer Ibanoglu |… …
