51Stirling's approximation — In mathematics, Stirling s approximation (or Stirling s formula) is an approximation for large factorials. It is named in honour of James Stirling.The formula is written as:n! approx sqrt{2pi n}, left(frac{n}{e} ight)^{n}.Roughly, this means that …

53Multivariate division algorithm — In mathematics, polynomials in more than one variable do not form a Euclidean domain, so it is not possible to construct a true division algorithm; but an approximate multivariate division algorithm can be constructed. Given a polynomial g,… …
54Surface tension — For the work of fiction, see Surface Tension (short story). Surface tension is a property of the surface of a liquid that causes it to behave as an elastic sheet. It allows insects, such as the water strider (pond skater, UK), to walk on water.… …
55Weierstrass preparation theorem — In mathematics, the Weierstrass preparation theorem is a tool for dealing with analytic functions of several complex variables, at a given point P. It states that such a function is, up to multiplication by a function not zero at P, a polynomial… …
56Generalized continued fraction — In analysis, a generalized continued fraction is a generalization of regular continued fractions in canonical form in which the partial numerators and the partial denominators can assume arbitrary real or complex values.A generalized continued… …
57Laguerre polynomials — In mathematics, the Laguerre polynomials, named after Edmond Laguerre (1834 ndash; 1886), are the canonical solutions of Laguerre s equation::x,y + (1 x),y + n,y = 0,which is a second order linear differential equation.This equation has… …
58Widlar current source — A Widlar current source is a modification of the basic two transistor current mirror that incorporates an emitter degeneration resistor for only the output transistor, enabling the current source to generate low currents using only moderate… …
59Weierstrass point — In mathematics, a Weierstrass point P on a nonsingular algebraic curve C defined over the complex numbers is a point such that there are extra functions on C , with their poles restricted to P only, than would be predicted by looking at the… …
60Electromagnetic reverberation chamber — A look inside the (large) Reverberation Chamber at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany. On the left side is the vertical Mode Stirrer (or Tuner), that changes the electromagnetic boundaries to ensure a (statistically) homogeneous… …
