An Introduction to Tensors and Group Theory for Physicists by Nadir Jeevanjee (2011) shows that this is a tensor that represents the volume of a parallelepiped.

It takes as input three vectors, and outputs one real number, the volume. And it is linear on each vector. This perfectly satisfied the definition of a tensor of order (3,0).

Given a basis $(e_i,e_j,e_k)$ and a function that return the volume of a parallelepiped given by three vectors $V(v_1,v_2,v_3)$, ${\epsilon }_{ikj}=V(e_i,e_j,e_k)$.

In "practice" it is likely "useless", because the functions that it can integrate that Riemann can't are just too funky to appear in practice :-)

Its value is much more indirect and subtle, as in "it serves as a solid basis of quantum mechanics" due to the definition of Hilbert spaces.

A measurable function defined on a closed interval is square integrable (and therefore in $L^2$) if and only if Fourier series converges in $L^2$ norm the function:

Integrable functions to the power $p$, usually and in this text assumed under the Lebesgue integral because: Lebesgue integral of $L^p$ is complete but Riemann isn't

Both are harmonic oscillators.

In the LC circuit:

You can kickstart motion in either of those systems in two ways:

The type of laser described at: Video "How Lasers Work by Scientized (2017)", notably youtu.be/_JOchLyNO_w?t=581. Mentioned at: youtu.be/_JOchLyNO_w?t=759 That point also mentions that 4-level lasers also exist and are more efficient. TODO dominance? Alternatives?
