Navier–Stokes Equations
The Navier–Stokes equations ( ) are partial differential equations which describe the motion of viscous fluid substances. They were named after French engineer and physicist Claude-Louis Navier and the Irish physicist and mathematician George Gabriel Stokes. They were developed over several decades of progressively building the theories, from 1822 (Navier) to 1842–1850 (Stokes). The Navier–Stokes equations mathematically express momentum balance for Newtonian fluids and make use of conservation of mass. They are sometimes accompanied by an equation of state relating pressure, temperature and density. They arise from applying Isaac Newton's second law to fluid motion, together with the assumption that the stress in the fluid is the sum of a diffusing viscous term (proportional to the gradient of velocity) and a pressure term—hence describing ''viscous flow''. The difference between them and the closely related Euler equations is that Navier–Stokes equat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Partial Differential Equations
In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to how is thought of as an unknown number solving, e.g., an algebraic equation like . However, it is usually impossible to write down explicit formulae for solutions of partial differential equations. There is correspondingly a vast amount of modern mathematical and scientific research on methods to numerically approximate solutions of certain partial differential equations using computers. Partial differential equations also occupy a large sector of pure mathematical research, in which the usual questions are, broadly speaking, on the identification of general qualitative features of solutions of various partial differential equations, such as existence, uniqueness, regularity and stability. Among the many open questions are the existence an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mathematician
A mathematician is someone who uses an extensive knowledge of mathematics in their work, typically to solve mathematical problems. Mathematicians are concerned with numbers, data, quantity, mathematical structure, structure, space, Mathematical model, models, and mathematics#Calculus and analysis, change. History One of the earliest known mathematicians was Thales of Miletus (); he has been hailed as the first true mathematician and the first known individual to whom a mathematical discovery has been attributed. He is credited with the first use of deductive reasoning applied to geometry, by deriving four corollaries to Thales's theorem. The number of known mathematicians grew when Pythagoras of Samos () established the Pythagorean school, whose doctrine it was that mathematics ruled the universe and whose motto was "All is number". It was the Pythagoreans who coined the term "mathematics", and with whom the study of mathematics for its own sake begins. The first woman math ...

Argentine Americans
Argentine Americans () are Americans who have full or partial Argentines, Argentinian ancestry. Argentine immigration increased after the 1976 Argentine coup d'état, and many took up residence in states such as California, Florida, and New York (state), New York. History In any case, it seems that the first Argentines who arrived in the United States did so during the 1950s and 1960s, seeking better economic conditions. A wave of Argentine immigrants came to Las Vegas, Nevada in the 1950s. Most of these arrivals had achieved higher education in Argentina. For example, many were scientists. However, immigrants in the late 1970s arrived fleeing the political state sponsored terrorism of the dictatorship. They numbered 44,803 people. Then, a few decades later, large waves of immigrants left the country after its economic crash in 2001 and economic decline in 2014. As a result, according to "Latinx Immigrants" from the International and Cultural Psychology book series, as of 2018 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ovidiu Savin
Ovidiu Vasile Savin (born January 1, 1977) is a Romanian-American mathematician who is active in the field of the partial differential equations. Scientific activity Savin received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2003 having Luis Caffarelli as advisor; he is professor of mathematics at Columbia University. Savin is mostly known for his important work on Ennio De Giorgi's conjecture about global solutions to certain semilinear equations, that he proved up to dimension 8. It is to be noticed that the conjecture turns out to be false in higher dimensions, as eventually proved by Manuel del Pino, Michał Kowalczyk, and Juncheng Wei. Savin has also worked on various regularity questions proving the gradient continuity of solutions to the infinity-Laplacian equation in two dimensions and obtaining results on the boundary regularity of solutions to the Monge–Ampère equation.
