Field - Science and Mathematics

Science and Mathematics

  • Field (mathematics), type of algebraic structure
  • Field (physics), mathematical construct for analysis of remote effects
  • Field (geography), with a definition similar to that of physics but in a different context and using unique models and methods
  • Field (computer science), a smaller piece of data from a larger collection (e.g., database fields)
  • Field-programmability, an electronic device's capability of being reprogrammed with new logic
  • Field of sets, a mathematical structure of sets in an abstract space
  • Electric field, term in physics to describe the energy that surrounds electrically charged particles
  • Magnetic field, force produced by moving electric charges
  • Electromagnetic field, combination of an electric field and magnetic field
  • Field winding or field magnet, the stator of an electric motor
  • Field of heliostats, an assembly of heliostats acting together
  • Scalar field assignment of a scalar to each point in a mathematical space
  • Tensor field assignment of a tensor to each point in a mathematical space
  • Vector field assignment of a vector to each point in a mathematical space

Famous quotes containing the words science and, science and/or mathematics:

    “Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
    —Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

    “In mathematics he was greater
    Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
    For he, by geometric scale,
    Could take the size of pots of ale;
    Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
    If bread and butter wanted weight;
    And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
    The clock doth strike, by algebra.”
    —Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
