https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential%20equation | In mathematics, a differential equation is an equation that relates one or more unknown functions and their derivatives. In applications, the functions generally represent physical quantities, the derivatives represent their rates of change, and the differential equation defines a relationship between the two. Such rel... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20correlation | In quantum mechanics, quantum correlation is the expected value of the product of the alternative outcomes. In other words, it is the expected change in physical characteristics as one quantum system passes through an interaction site. In John Bell's 1964 paper that inspired the Bell test, it was assumed that the outc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B8lner%20sequence | In mathematics, a Følner sequence for a group is a sequence of sets satisfying a particular condition. If a group has a Følner sequence with respect to its action on itself, the group is amenable. A more general notion of Følner nets can be defined analogously, and is suited for the study of uncountable groups. Følne... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stannate | In chemistry, the term stannate or tinnate refers to compounds of tin (Sn). Stannic acid (Sn(OH)4), the formal precursor to stannates, does not exist and is actually a hydrate of SnO2. The term is also used in naming conventions as a suffix; for example the hexachlorostannate ion is .
In materials science, two kinds o... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray%20%28mathematics%29 | In differential geometry, a spray is a vector field H on the tangent bundle TM that encodes a quasilinear second order system of ordinary differential equations on the base manifold M. Usually a spray is required to be homogeneous in the sense that its integral curves t→ΦHt(ξ)∈TM obey the rule ΦHt(λξ)=ΦHλt(ξ) in positi... |

Computer science
Dependency (computer science) or coupling, a state in which one object uses a function of another object
Data dependency, which describes a dependence relation between statements in a program
Dependence analysis, in compiler theory
Dependency (UML), a... |
