1Wave equation — Not to be confused with Wave function. The wave equation is an important second order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves – as they occur in physics – such as sound waves, light waves and water waves. It arises in… …
2Helmholtz equation — The Helmholtz equation, named for Hermann von Helmholtz, is the elliptic partial differential equation:( abla^2 + k^2) A = 0where abla^2 is the Laplacian, k is a constant, and the unknown function A=A(x, y, z) is defined on n dimensional… …
3Equation — This article is about equations in mathematics. For the chemistry term, see chemical equation. The first use of an equals sign, equivalent to 14x+15=71 in modern notation. From The Whetstone of Witte by Robert Recorde (1557). An equation is a… …
4Proofs of Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares — Fermat s theorem on sums of two squares asserts that an odd prime number p can be expressed as: p = x^2 + y^2with integer x and y if and only if p is congruent to 1 (mod 4). The statement was announced by Fermat in 1640, but he supplied no proof …
5Partial differential equation — A visualisation of a solution to the heat equation on a two dimensional plane In mathematics, partial differential equations (PDE) are a type of differential equation, i.e., a relation involving an unknown function (or functions) of several… …
6Quartic equation — In mathematics, a quartic equation is one which can be expressed as a quartic function equalling zero. The general form of a quartic equation is:ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e=0 ,where a ne; 0.The quartic is the highest order polynomial equation that can be …

8Diophantine equation — In mathematics, a Diophantine equation is an indeterminate polynomial equation that allows the variables to be integers only. Diophantine problems have fewer equations than unknown variables and involve finding integers that work correctly for… …
9Debye–Hückel equation — The Debye–Hückel equation and Debye–Hückel limiting law, were derived by Peter Debye and Erich Hückel, who developed a theory with which to calculate activity coefficients of electrolyte solutions.[1] Activities, rather than concentrations, are… …
10Ordinary differential equation — In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (or ODE) is a relation that contains functions of only one independent variable, and one or more of their derivatives with respect to that variable. A simple example is Newton s second law of… …
