https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics%20engine | A physics engine is computer software that provides an approximate simulation of certain physical systems, such as rigid body dynamics (including collision detection), soft body dynamics, and fluid dynamics, of use in the domains of computer graphics, video games and film (CGI). Their main uses are in video games (typi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free%20field | In physics a free field is a field without interactions, which is described by the terms of motion and mass.
Description
In classical physics, a free field is a field whose equations of motion are given by linear partial differential equations. Such linear PDE's have a unique solution for a given initial condition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxcar%20function | In mathematics, a boxcar function is any function which is zero over the entire real line except for a single interval where it is equal to a constant, A. The function is named after its graph's resemblance to a boxcar, a type of railroad car. The boxcar function can be expressed in terms of the uniform distribution as... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma%20approximation | In mathematics, σ-approximation adjusts a Fourier summation to greatly reduce the Gibbs phenomenon, which would otherwise occur at discontinuities.
A σ-approximated summation for a series of period T can be written as follows:
in terms of the normalized sinc function
The term
is the Lanczos σ factor, which is respo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudotensor | In physics and mathematics, a pseudotensor is usually a quantity that transforms like a tensor under an orientation-preserving coordinate transformation (e.g. a proper rotation) but additionally changes sign under an orientation-reversing coordinate transformation (e.g., an improper rotation), which is a transformation... |
