... By Euclid's Proposition I 11, we can construct a line m through P perpendicular to t . Thus by construction t is a transversal to l and m such that the interior angles on the same side at P and D are both right angles. Thus m is parallel to l because the sum of the interior angles is 180°. (Note: Al ...

... These are derived in exercise 9.4 for d = 1, and see [8] for higher dimensional cases. As one can already see from the first few expansion coefficients, the terms without derivatives exponentiate such that we can rewrite the series of Eq.(3.6b) as K(t; ~x) ∼ ...

The Spherical Law of Cosines
... The Spherical Law of Cosines Suppose that a spherical triangle on the unit sphere has side lengths a, b and c, and let C denote the angle adjacent to sides a and b. Then (using radian measure): cos(c) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b) cos(C). A spherical triangle is one enclosed by three great circles ...

Noether's theorem
Noether's (first) theorem states that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. The theorem was proven by German mathematician Emmy Noether in 1915 and published in 1918. The action of a physical system is the integral over time of a Lagrangian function (which may or may not be an integral over space of a Lagrangian density function), from which the system's behavior can be determined by the principle of least action.Noether's theorem has become a fundamental tool of modern theoretical physics and the calculus of variations. A generalization of the seminal formulations on constants of motion in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics (developed in 1788 and 1833, respectively), it does not apply to systems that cannot be modeled with a Lagrangian alone (e.g. systems with a Rayleigh dissipation function). In particular, dissipative systems with continuous symmetries need not have a corresponding conservation law.
