11Work (thermodynamics) — In thermodynamics, work is the quantity of energy transferred from one system to another without an accompanying transfer of entropy. It is a generalization of the concept of mechanical work in mechanics. In the SI system of measurement, work is… …
12State function — In thermodynamics, a state function, state quantity , or a function of state , is a property of a system that depends only on the current state of the system, not on the way in which the system got to that state. A state function describes the… …

14Conservation of energy — This article is about the law of conservation of GPE in physics. For sustainable energy resources, see Energy conservation. Prof. Walter Lewin demonstrates the conservation of mechanical energy, touching a wrecking ball with his jaw. (MIT Course… …
15Mechanical work — In physics, mechanical work is the amount of energy transferred by a force. Like energy, it is a scalar quantity, with SI units of joules. The term work was first coined in the 1830s by the French mathematician Gaspard Gustave Coriolis. [cite… …

17Numerical analysis — Babylonian clay tablet BC 7289 (c. 1800–1600 BC) with annotations. The approximation of the square root of 2 is four sexagesimal figures, which is about six decimal figures. 1 + 24/60 + 51/602 + 10/603 = 1.41421296...[1] Numerical analysis is the …
18Hartogs' extension theorem — In mathematics, precisely in the theory of functions of several complex variables, Hartogs extension theorem is a statement about the singularities of holomorphic functions of several variables. Informally, it states that the support of the… …
19Floating point — In computing, floating point describes a method of representing real numbers in a way that can support a wide range of values. Numbers are, in general, represented approximately to a fixed number of significant digits and scaled using an exponent …
20Matrix decomposition — In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, a matrix decomposition is a factorization of a matrix into some canonical form. There are many different matrix decompositions; each finds use among a particular class of problems. Contents 1… …
