Variational formulation of a partial differential equation by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Used for example in FreeFem and FEniCS Project as the input description of the PDEs, TODO why.
Radioactive decay by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Ciro Santilli finds it interesting that radioactive decay basically kickstarted the domain of nuclear physics by essentially providing a natural particle accelerator from a chunk of radioactive element.
The discovery process was particularly interesting, including Henri Becquerel's luck while observing phosphorescence, and Marie Curie's observation that the uranium ore were more radioactive than pure uranium, and must therefore contain other even more radioactive substances, which lead to the discovery of polonium (half-life 138 days) and radium (half-life 1600 years).

Robin boundary condition by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Linear combination of a Dirichlet boundary condition and Neumann boundary condition at each point of the boundary.

Symmetric bilinear map by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Subcase of symmetric multilinear map:
Requires the two inputs and to be in the same vector space of course.
The most important example is the dot product, which is also a positive definite symmetric bilinear form.
BioCyc by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Very good metabolism database.
Some things that they have of interest which may not be on NCBI:
Hits a free login wall after a few IP hits. And just a very normal casually browsing number of hits. What is this bullshit?

Bohr model by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Was the first model to explain the Balmer series, notably linking atomic spectra to the Planck constant and therefore to other initial quantum mechanical observations.
This was one of the first major models that just said:
I give up, I can't tie this to classical physics in any way, let's just roll with it, OK?
It still treats electrons as little points spinning around the nucleus, but it makes the non-classical postulate that only certain angular momentums (and therefore energies) are allowed.

The channel is also notable for the fact that the author makes his own music.

Pseudometric space by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Metric space but where the distance between two distinct points can be zero.
Notable example: Minkowski space.
