  • Boundary value problem, a differential equation together with a set of additional restraints called the boundary conditions
  • Boundary (thermodynamic), the edge of a thermodynamic system across which heat, mass, or work can flow

Famous quotes containing the words mathematics and/or physics:

    “The three main medieval points of view regarding universals are designated by historians as realism, conceptualism, and nominalism. Essentially these same three doctrines reappear in twentieth-century surveys of the philosophy of mathematics under the new names logicism, intuitionism, and formalism.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “Now the twitching stops. Now you are still. We are through with physiology and theology, physics begins.”
    —Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
