SEC. 1-1] SELECTED DATA AND FORMULAS AND GUIDE 1-19
The data presented and the method of using the chart are explained in the key at the
top of the chart. The following limitations of Table 23 should be noted.
Cross Sections. Cross sections are for 2,200-m/sec neutrons with the following
exceptions.
1. Where cross sections are given for the spectrum of pile neutrons, this is denoted
by the subscript PN.
2. Where the absorption (or fission) cross section is not l/t-dependcnt, the value
has been multiplied by the appropriate factor,1'* so that a correct average cross
section for the Maxwell distribution will be obtained when the Maxwell-distribution
factor V72 = 1/1.128 is applied. The factors are: Cd and Cd11', 1.3; Xe1", 1.16;
Sm, 1.5; Eu, 0.95; Gd, 0.85; Hg, 0.95; U, 0.99 for o- and 0.981 for 07; U"s, 0.981 for o-
and a/. For consistent treatment, the cross sections for Pu"9 should be multiplied
hy the factor 1.075, but this factor is highly energy-dependent, increasing to over
2.0 in the range of temperatures used in power reactors. The cross sections of this
nuclide (and other fuel nuclides also) are therefore read from curves or tables as a
function of energy or temperature.
Energy of Decay. The energy of emitted particles is not given.
Gamma Emission. Decay and neutron capture are usually accompanied by gamma
emission, which is not specifically indicated. Also, no notice is taken of exceptions,
such as decay unaccompanied by y rays, or emission, by internal conversion, of
orbital electrons instead of y rays.
Isomeric Transition.^ Isomeric states are indicated only where they arise from
neutron activation and have a long enough half-life to affect significantly the activity
of the irradiated material.
More Than One Mode of Decay. The principal mode is given first; modes accounting

for less than 10 per cent of the decay are given in parentheses.
3.22 Important Charts of Nuclides. Charts of the nuclides usually include all
known nuclides, stable and unstable, and may give as much nuclear data as con
sistent with readability.
The General Electric "Chart of the Nuclides" (1966). Copies of this important wall
chart plus an accompanying booklet may be obtained free by writing to Dept. 2-119,
General Electric Co., Schenectady, N.Y. This chart was used as the primary
reference in preparing Table 23.

strip chart by W. H. Sullivan, for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.

4.12 Fuel. In reactor calculations, the average absorption cross section of a 1/v
absorber is calculated from the 2,200-m/sec reference value by applying factors for the
Maxwell distribution and for temperature (See Sec. 6-2 and Art. 7.12 of Sec. 1-1).
The marked departure from 1 /u-dependence exhibited by fuel nuclides is most simply
allowed for by substituting adjusted cross sections that will give the correct reaction
rate when 1/w-dependence is assumed. Table 25 gives the Westcott* adjusted values
for IP" Um, and Pu2. The Maxwell distribution factor (0.886 or 1/1.128) and the
temperature factor [V293/(273 + lC)] must still be applied, since Table 25 gives
only the secondary corrections necessary to give 1/v-equivalent cross sections.

The parameter r in Table 25 takes into account the density of epithermal neutrons

for calculations of well-moderated reactors. For other reactors, the parameter r must
be estimated or calculated from reactor theory, and Table 25 may then be read by
interpolation. Westcott states that r for the NRX reactor is 0.03 in the moderator
and 0.07 in the fuel.
Since reactor calculations are usually based on the thermal-neutron density and the
Westcott cross sections are based on total neutron density, some further adjustment
is indicated for consistent treatment of diffusion-dependent terms in reactor theory.

The Stable Iteaclor Period is the e-folding time after transients have disappeared.
For positive reactivity, T, can have any positive value.
For negative reactivity, T, can have any negative value numerically greater than
r, (80.39 sec for U").
The inhour equation is solved by trial, making use of simplified approximate
formulas (below) where applicable.

solved by trial, and are located by the sequence

Change of Velocity Distribution. In rough calculations, it is usual to ignore the

The total pressure drop between two points is the algebraic sum of losses by friction,
and pressure drop by acceleration and difference of elevation. If parameters vary,
sections are subdivided and formulas are evaluated over the subdivisions, using
average values for the parameters. In some cases analytic solutions are available
for cases of varying parameters (see Art. 4 of Sec. 9-2).

Algebraic Signs. In all tables in this section, the positive direction of distance and
heat flow is to the right in slab geometry, and radially outward in cylindrical and
spherical geometries. If heat flow is in the negative direction, algebraic formulas
remain unchanged, but when numerical values are substituted, the negative direction
is recognized by change of sign. Negative values arising in the course of computation

14.12 Conduction in Multilayer Solids with Internal Heat Generation and Con

layers for multilayer slabs, cylinders, and spheres, with heat generation uniform in
each layer and with convection cooling on both sides of the assembly. Solutions are
given for three-region solids, but they can be extended to any number of regions by
including terms for additional regions.
Procedure. The specified parameters are evaluated in sequence for the geometry
in question. Usually the temperature difference Att* between the coolant streams
is known* and in this case q\ is determined from the second of the two formulas for g'i.
If the heat flow (at either surface) is known instead of the temperature difference, g'i
is determined from the first of the two formulas.! If the left-hand or inner surface
is cooled, the numerical value of q\ is negative.

where h' and h" are the convection coefficients on the two sides of the gap.
Temperature Distribution within a Region. The temperature distribution within
the first layer is given by the general case in Tables 46 to 48. With proper change of
subscripts the same formulas, including the criterion for a temperature maximum,
apply to any layer.
Meaning of Parameters. The parameter /
represents! the total heat generation
within a layer, / represents the temperature difference across a layer caused by unit
rate of constant heat through-flow, gl is the temperature difference across a layer
caused by the internal heat generation within the layer, and m is the temperature
difference caused by heat generation within the layer and all interior layers.
Simplified Formulas for Fuel Elements. Table 50 gives formulas for simple cases,
ignoring heat generation in the clad. For less simple cases, use the general multi
layer solution.
Aft* may be positive, zero, or negative. It is positive if the temperature at the left-hand side of a
?Ub is higher than that at the right-hand side, or if the temperature inside a cylinder or sphere is higher
than the temperature outside.

1-66 GENERAL DATA [SEC. 1
By trial, x6 = +0.30277.
PAIR OF COMPLEX ROOTS:
The six roots of the equation are: -3.3028, +2.2361, 0.2500(-l 2.6457t),
+0.3028.
17.14 Horner's Method for Polynomial Equations. See Art. 4.3 of Sec. 3-1.
This method is usually used in conjunction with rules for exploring the character of
roots and assisting in approximate location of roots. The method is illustrated,
without such aids, using the same equation as in the illustration by Graeffe's method.
Step 1. Divide through by the coefficient of the highest power of x, write
f(x) can be evaluated by direct substitution, but (except for small integral values of x)
it can be evaluated more easily by the remainder theorem. This is illustrated for
x = 3:
From the change in sign of tabulated values, fix) becomes zero between x 4
and x = 3, between x = 3 and x = 2, between x = 0 and x = 1, and between
x = 2 and x = 3.
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
Step 2. Arbitrarily, the equation will be solved for the root between 2 and 3.
A new equation is formed with all its roots 2 less than those of the original equation.
The process starts like the method described in Step 1 for evaluating fix), but is
repeated in the manner shown.
Higher values of x give larger positive values of f(x); so the root must be less than
i = 0.4. Trial shows that for x = 0.3, /(x) = 22.52, and for x = 0.2, /(x) = -10.76;
i.e., the root lies between x = 0.2 and x = 0.3. All roots of the equation are next
decreased by 0.2.
The transformed equation with roots 2.2 less than those of the original equation is
To continue the process, locate the root lying between 0 and 0.1. As a first approxi
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
mation, x = 10.76/280.02 = 0.038, and evaluation confirms that the root lies between
0.03 and 0.04. The equation is therefore transformed by reducing all roots by 0.03,
giving
The roots of this equation are now 2.23 less than those of the original equation, and
continuation of the process establishes the root of the new equation as being close to
0.006; hence the root of the original equation is
x = 2.236
Solution for the root between 3 and 4 gives x = 3.303 and a reduced equation
x* 4- 0.5010x + 0.5014 = 0. Solution of this quadratic equation gives
x = 0.2505(-l 2.6439t)
The roots of the equation are thus -3.303, 2.236, 0.2505(-l 2.6439t),
+0.304.
Limitation of Horner's Method. If the equation contains more than one pair of
complex roots, the residual equation after eliminating real roots is of fourth or higher
degree. The residual equation can, however, be solved by Graeffe's method.
17.2
The following methods are applicable for finding real roots of any equation in one
variable, including transcendental equations. The methods are illustrated by solution
of the equation x sin x = 1.
17.21 Approximate Solution by the Two-graph Method. Let ;/ = sin x, then
also y = x 1. Plot the two equations with y as ordinate and x as abscissa. Points
of intersection of the two curves give roots of the equation. In this case, the only
real root is at x 1.9 (Fig. 2). A large-scale plot in the region of x = 1.9 will give
a closer approximation.

This method is useful as a starting point for the following two numerical methods.
17.22 Method of Successive Linear Interpolation. (See also Method of False
Position in Art. 4.3 of Sec. 3-1.) Write f(x) = x sin x 1 and find two values of x
close together, say a and b, such that f(a) = a sin a 1 and f(b) = b sin 6 1
differ in sign. Then linear interpolation will give as a first approximation

The process is repeated using values of a and 6 closer to Xi, but still yielding a
difference in sign between f(a) and/(6). Further repetition gives increasingly close
approximation.

Reactor calculations, as made by organized computer groups, are often carried out
on desk calculating machines or by digital computers to eight or more significant
figures. The nuclear data entering into the calculations are, however, seldom accu
rate to more than two or three significant figures, and if calculations are to be made
without the services of a computer group, slide-rule accuracy in conjunction with four-
figure tables is satisfactory for most purposes for which such calculations would be

Examples:
1. log 5.576 -0.7463.
2. log 557.6 = log (5.576 X -
10') 2.7463.
3. log 0.005576 - log (5.576 X 10"') - -
3.7463 = 0.7463 -
3 = 7.7463 -
10, etc. -2.2537.
The mantissa (decimal part of the logarithm) is independent of the position of the decimal place in
the number.
The char act eristic (integer part of the logarithm) can bIbo be found by inspection. It is positive for
numbers having significant figures to the left of the decimal place and is one less than the number of
such figures (Examples I and 2). It is negative for numbers less than unity and is numerically equal
to the number of decimal places up to and including the first significant figure to the right of the decimal
place (Example 3).

March, 1943, were prepared under the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA)
by the Work Projects Administration for the City of New York, and published by the
Bureau of Standards. Since March, 1943, the work has been continued by the
Mathematical Tables Project of NBS, which became the Computation Laboratory on
July 1, 1947. Volumes are published by Columbia University Press or by the Bureau
of Standards.
In consequence of this history, there is some inconsistency in early catalogues and
references to tables of this aeries. The early volumes were issued without numbers,
but all volumes are now listed* numerically by NBS in three series:
Mathematical Tables Series (MT)
Applied Mathematics Series (AMS)
Columbia University Series (CUP)
The plan is to issue future tables, including all reissues, in the AMS series. Volumes
of the MT and AMS series arc available from the Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. Volumes of the CUP series arc
available from Columbia University Press, Morningsidc Heights, New York.

1-3 UNITS AND CONVERSION FACTORS
BY
Harold Etherington
Unit systems and conversion factors are given for quantities that may plausibly
be used in nuclear engineering. For other quantities see references.
Some dimensions and units are chosen arbitrarily, as in the above examples. These
are called fundamental dimensions and fundamental units. Some dimensions and
units are defined and measured in terms of others; e.g., areas and volumes are defined
and measured in terms of length, and density is defined and measured in terms of mass
per unit volume. Some dimensions and units are related to others by physical laws;
for example, Newton's second law of motion provides a means of expressing force in
the dimensions and units of length, time, and mass. Dimensions and units that are
expressed (by definition or by physical law) in terms of fundamental quantities are
called derived dimensions and units.
1.12 Dimension Systems. A system in which all the dimensions can be expressed
in terms of the smallest possible number of fundamental dimensions (e.g., length,
time, mass) is called a dimension system.
1.13 Unit Systems. A unit system consists of fundamental units (e.g., foot,
second, pound-mass) corresponding to the fundamental dimensions of the system
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
(e.g., length, time, mass) together with the derived units necessary to satisfy all the
requirements of the system. The units are said to be consistent, self-consistent, or
systematic if all physical relations within the system can be expressed without intro
ducing numerical factors.* The principal metric and English systems of units are
given in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.
1.14 Absolute Systems. Historically, units of length, time, and mass were most
easily established as standards. Systems employing these dimensions and units as
fundamental quantities are called absolute systems. In a literal sense they are no
more absolute than any other arbitrarily chosen system.
1.15 Nonsystematic Dimensions and Units. It is sometimes convenient to use
sets of dimensions and units that do not conform to the requirements of a true system;
i.e., the number of dimensions and units may be greater or less than required, or the
units may be made nonsystematic by mixing units from different systems.
A greater than necessary number of units is frequently used in thermodynamics.
Thermal conductivity may have the dimensions and units of length, time, temperature,
and heat, e.g., Btu/(hr)(ft)(F), and specific heat may have the units mass, temper
ature, and heat, e.g., Btu/(lbj/)(F); if these quantities both enter into a physical
* The factor 4* enters into some of the physical relations of electrical systems. This is a geometric
factorand is accepted as not destroying the consistency of the system.

equation, five dimensions (mass, length, time, temperature, and heat) are represented,
whereas four fundamental dimensions are sufficient (see later). In such cases, it is
necessary to introduce a dimensional conversion factor in physical equations. The
dimensions of this factor must satisfy the physical relation among the quantities,
and the magnitude depends on the choice of units. It is desirable to choose the
magnitude of a redundant unit so that the conversion factor is numerically equal to
unity.
In a limited range of application, it is permissible to use a smaller number of funda
mental dimensions than required for a complete system. Such a set of quantities
is said to be incomplete.
Dimensionally consistent units from different unit systems (e.g., inches in place
of feet in a system otherwise based on the foot, second, and pound) can be used, but a
dimensionless factor mast be introduced in physical equations of such hybrid systems.
Three fundamental dimensions are necessary and sufficient to express all the
physical quantities of a mechanical dimension system. Length and time are invariably
chosen for two of the dimensions; the third is usually either mass or force. These
alternative systems are called the absolute, or MLT, and the gravitational, or FLT
systems, respectively.* The principal metric systems are absolute systems, in the
sense that length, mass, and time are the fundamental dimensions. The usual engi
neering (English) unit system is a gravitational system, with length, force, and time
as the fundamental dimensions.

Four fundamental dimensions are required. Mass, time, and length are usually
chosen, with temperature (the MLTfl system) or heat (the MLTH system) as the
fourth dimension.
1.31 The CGS System. The cgs system of units is extended by addition of the
degree centigrade as the fourth unit. Heat is a derived unit, expressed as ergs
(dyne-centimeters).
1.32 Metric Heat-flow Units. For problems not involving interconversion
between heat and work, a set of five fundamental units centimeter, gram, second,
degree centigrade, and calorie is commonly used. Where rate of heat generation
is expressed as watts per cubic centimeter and heat flow as watts per square centi
meter, it is then simplest to change watts to calories per second (1 cal/sec = 4.18684
watts).

mass equal to 4.184 X 10' g (used in the caloric unit syxtem 4.184 joules is the equiva
lent of the "thermodynamic calorie" proposed for this system).
1.33 The MKS system is also extended to provide a thermodynamic system by
addition of the degree centigrade.
1.34 English Units. The usual thermodynamic set of dimensions (Table 2) con
tains more than the four fundamental dimensions that would constitute a true dimen
sional system. The units are, however, consistent and are in general use for calcu
lating heat flow and heat balances when there is no significant conversion from work
to heat or vice versa.

units (aemu). Like the aesu system, this system is frequently used as a simple

abcoulomb by a factor numerically equal to the speed of light. The difference in the
units arises from the independent methods of defining charge; the magnitude of the
factor is inherent in the nature of electromagnetic radiation.
For problems involving both electrostatic and electromagnetic phenomena, a union
between the absolute electrostatic and electromagnetic systems is necessary. Either
system can be suppressed and the other extended to include all necessary units, but
many of the derived units are inconveniently large or small. Alternatively the
systems may be mixed, giving nonsystematic units with some power of c (the

The practical electrical units (ampere, volt, ohm, etc.) were defined, more than a
century ago, from the cgs electromagnetic units by applying the following powers of
10 as multipliers: 1 amp ("absolute practical ampere") 1 X 10_1 abamp (cgs);
1 volt = 1 X 108 abvolts; 1 ohm = 1 X 10* abohms. The International Congress
of 1 893 retained these definitions but also set up measurement standards as alternative
definitions a mercury column for the ohm, a silver voltameter for the ampere, and
a standard cell for the volt. These units, called international units, were legalized
by act of Congress in 1894.
Discrepancies became apparent between the theoretical definitions and the measure

redundant. In 1908 the standard of voltage was dropped, but instead of the other

The units of classical physics (the cgs units and the supplementary units of the
absolute electrical systems) are generally used in theoretical physics. Since these
classical units are inconveniently large for practical calculation on an atomic scale,
convenient nonsystematic units are defined for limited use.
4.11 Atomic Mass Unit, amu. The amu, expressed in the physical scale, is
defined as one-sixteenth of the mass of an O" atom.

Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
in its natural isotopic composition is taken as 16 exactly. Atomic masses and derived
constants may be expressed in either scale. Birge' gives 1.000272 0.000005 as the
ratio of atomic weight in the physical scale to atomic weight in the chemical scale,
and this value is adopted by Cohen et al. Birgc's ratio is based on an isotopic
composition Ol,:0":0H = (506 10):1:(0.204 0.008), but Nier7 and others have
since shown that the isotopic concentration of natural oxygen varies with the source
to an extent that causes the calculated ratio of the physical to the chemical scale to
range at least from 1.000268 to 1.000278. In the absence of an assigned standard
composition, the ratio therefore includes an inherent uncertainty, not associated
with precision of measurement.
Constants expressed per gram-molecule are all smaller, by the given ratio, in the
chemical scale than in the physical scale. This applies to atomic weights, Avogadro's
number, molar volume, the Faraday, and the universal gas constant. Atomic
weights of the elements in their natural isotopic abundance are expressed in the
chemical scale; hence the chemical scale generally applies in engineering calculations
involving the above-stated quantities. Particle and isotopic masses are expressed
in terms of amu in the physical scale.
4.32 Particle Masses, Energy Equivalents, and Wavelengths. Mass-energy
equivalents are given in Table 28, data for particles in Table 20, and wavelengths
and energy relations in Table 30. The values are those of Cohen et al.*

fission-product 7 rays were born inside an infinite block of DjO. Absorption or
degradation of the y ray by fuel or other material and leakage of the y ray out of the
important neutron region of the reactor would both reduce the yield below the
maximum.
1.5 Prompt Gammas
A fission in U"6 results in the emission of 7.5 Mev of prompt 7-ray energy. The
energy spectrum of the individual y rays is roughly a decreasing exponential with
7-ray energy. The average 7-ray energy is 0.9 Mev, and thus somewhat over 8 7s

About 6 Mev of 7-ray energy is emitted by the fission products as they 0 decay
toward stability. The rate of release of this 6 Mev diminishes with time and for not
too short times roughly behaves as
where I is the time in seconds after the occurrence of the fission and T is the 7 energy
emitted in Mev per second per fission. This formula leads to

The heavy-fragment energy peaks near 60 Mev. The average total kinetic energy
of both fragments is 168 Mev.

The cross-section ratios do, however, change (according to the numbers). / As a
consequence, the neutron yield per absorption ij is a function of neutron energy. For
2,200-meter/sec (0.0253-ev) neutrons, the ij values may be calculated by dividing
by 1 + a(2,200). For a Maxwell distribution at temperature ~20C, the values are

2.4 Cross Sections for Fast Neutrons*
Cross sections averaged over the neutron spectrum at the center of some fast
reactors are listed in Table 10. Also given are the calculated cross sections averaged
over the fission spectrum. The fast reactors and the neutron spectrum are described
in Art. 7. Transport cross sections are given in Table 32, Art. 7. It may be noted
from Table 10 that the value of a for U"5 in the central spectrum of EBR I is

with the 900-kev value of Table 9. For Pu"9, however, use of r 2.91 + 0.1 3.01 - -

nuclei, the binding energy of an incident neutron is sufficient to overcome the activa
tion energy barrier. For the nonthermally fissionable nuclei, the binding energy
must be supplemented by kinetic energy of the incident neutron in order to overcome
the barrier. As a result, the fission cross section of these nuclei is essentially zero up
to some energy and then rises rapidly to a first plateau, at which point the barrier is
essentially overcome. Table 12 lists the values of the fission cross section at the first
plateau that occurs near 2 Mev. Also listed are the energies E\<, and E\\a at which the
cross section is one-half and one-tenth of the plateau value.

sections in these tables arc those of "Neutron Cross Sections," BNL-325. Table 16,

The subscripts describing the cross section a have the following meaning:

Q(th) means the value of Q for thermal neutrons at a particular temperature. If a
thermal value is listed without a corresponding temperature, it may be assumed that
the temperature of the material in which the measurement was made was not far from
room temperature. The scattering cross section is listed for both thermal and

Because of neutron loss by absorption or leakage, the neutrons are not in a Max-
wellian distribution at the temperature T of the material. Because of stronger
absorption at lower energies, the spectrum is shifted toward higher energies and the
effective temperature T of the neutrons is higher than the material temperature. A

8.2 Neutrons*""
In contrast to charged particles, which have a definable range, neutrons and y rays
are stopped approximately exponentially. In this exponential approximation, use
is made of the relaxation length, which is the thickness of material that, owing to
absorption, causes a drop in intensity by a factor of e.
For thermal neutrons, the relaxation length is equal to the thermal-diffusion length,
which can be made quite small in absorbing materials. Thus, thermal neutrons can
be shielded out in a fraction of an inch of boral. Neutrons of energy up to about
1 Mev may be readily stopped by moderating them to low energies where they can be
absorbed easily. The relaxation length in such cases is about equal to the slowing-
down length (square root of the age of the neutrons), which can be made as small as a
few centimeters by use of hydrogen atoms. The very energetic neutrons, several
Mev and up, are the most difficult to shield against. Table 36 lists illustrative values
of the relaxation lengths for these neutrons in various materials.
Final absorption of the neutrons is usually accompanied by the emission of y rays.
The use of boron results in a comparatively soft y ray of 0.5 Mev. Lithium, however,
absorbs neutrons with essentially no production of y rays. Table 9 of Sec. 7-3

result from inelastic scattering of neutrons.
Table 4 of Sec. 7-2 lists the values of the neutron flux, at various neutron energies,
that results in a dose rate of 7.5 mrem/hr.
Shielding of neutrons and radiation dose are treated in detail in Sec 7-3.

3-1 ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY
BY
Alston S. Householder
Generally speaking, algebra and geometry are distinguished from analysis in that
they do not involve the notion of limit. Nevertheless most practical methods for
solving equations do involve limiting processes, even though the definition of the
solution does not. Hence some familiarity with limits will be presupposed in certain
portions of the present section.
The real numbers include the integers (the null element 0; the positive integers 1, 2,
3, 4, ... ; and the negative integers 1, 2, 3, . . .); the rationals, which
include the integers as well as any number expressible as a fraction whose numerator
and denominator are both integers; and the irrationals, such as r, y/2, which are not
so expressible.
1.11 The basic arithmetic operations are the two summative operations of addition
and subtraction and the two multiplicative operations of multiplication and division.
These operations can be further classified as direct (addition and multiplication) and
indirect (subtraction and division). Any two real numbers can be combined by any
of the four basic operations, and the result is again a real number with one exception:
Division by zero is not allowed.
The indirect operations are related to the direct operations as follows: The differ
ence a 6 is defined to be that number x which satisfies the equation 0 = 6+1;
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
the quotient a/6 is defined to be that number y which satisfies a = by. Since Qy = 0
whatever y may be, it follows that when 6=0 and a = 0, then y could be anything,
and when 6=0 and a^O, there is no y that could satisfy the equation a = by.
Signs of aggregation are parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces j }, and, less com
monly, the vinculum or horizontal bar. They have the force of punctuation marks
and signify that the enclosed operations are to be performed before any further
combination is effected. Thus 6/(2 + 1) = 6/3 = 2, the division being withheld
until the addition set off by the parentheses has been performed.
Where signs of aggregation do not intervene, the following conventions are always
understood to hold:
1. Multiplicative operations are performed before summative operations.
2. Multiplicative operations are to be performed in the order in which they occur.
3. Summative operations are to be performed in the order in which they occur.
Thus, 6/2 + 1=3 + 1=4; 1+6/2 = 1+3=4; 6/2-3=3-3=9, but
6/(2 3) = 6/6 = 1; 6/2/3 = 3/3 = 1.
The commutative laws and the distributive law are satisfied by all real numbers as
follows:
Commutative law: a + 6 = 6 + o. 06 = 6a.
Distributive law: 0(6 + c) = 06 + ac.

a base. Let N = n 10, where m is an integer, positive or negative, and 1 < n < 10.
Then, since log 1 = 0 and log 10 = 1, it follows that 0 < log n < 1. Hence log N
is the sum of an integer m, called the characteristic of the logarithm, and a pure
decimal log n, called the mantissa of the logarithm. The mantissa is always non-
negative, and its value is independent of the location of the decimal point in N . The
characteristic may be positive, negative, or zero, and its value is determined solely
by the location of the decimal point in N. Note that

then the vector with origin P and terminus 0 is a. If b is the vector with origin P
and terminus Q, then a + b is the vector with origin 0 and terminus Q. If P, Q, and
R are in a straight line, and if the segment PR = aPQ, then the vector with origin P
and terminus R is orb. If the line ST is parallel to the line PQ and the segments are
equal, ST = PQ, then the vector with origin S and terminus T exemplifies (or is)
the same vector b. A vector may therefore be thought of as freely movable from
place to place but fixed in length and direction. (In more rigorous phraseology the
vector b is the class of all segments parallel and equal to the segment PQ and similarly
oriented.)
Examples of vectors are finite motions, velocities, accelerations, and forces. On
the other hand masses, temperatures, and energies are nonvectorial, or scalar, quanti

dependent in case scalars a and f) exist, not both being zero, such that aa + /3b = 0.
If this equation is satisfied only by a = f? = 0, then a and b are linearly independent.
It should be observed that if one vector, say b, is null, the two vectors are necessarily
linearly dependent whatever a might be, since one has only to take a = 0 and /3

Let ei and e* be any two linearly independent vectors, and let x be any vector in
the plane of these vectors. Let these be drawn from a common origin O, and let
them terminate at Bi, Et, and X, respectively (Fig. 2). From X draw PX parallel
to 0Et and intersecting OEi (extended if necessary) at P. Then 0 is the origin
sad P the terminus of a scalar multiple of et; P is the origin and X the terminus of a
scalar multiple of es. Let these be { iBj and 2e2. Then

coordinates in the vectorial coordinate system (d, e2). Any other point 0' could have
been used instead of 0 as the common origin. This would have led to different
points E'i, E't, X', and P' but to the same scalars fi, {j.
When a vectorial coordinate system such as (ei, e) is associated with a particular
point 0 as origin, the system forms a point-coordinate system (0; ei, ej). Associated
with each vector x drawn from 0 as origin is a particular point X, its terminus. The
coordinates fi, 2 of x in the vectorial coordinate system (ei, es) are said to be the
coordinates of the point X in the point-coordinate system (0; d, e).
Any vector not in (or parallel to) the same plane with ei and ei is not expressible
as a linear combination of Ci and e2. If e> is such a vector, then ti, et, and es are
linearly independent. Any vector in the same 3-space is expressible as a linear
combination of these three vectors. Hence they form a vectorial coordinate system
for the 3-space, and, when associated with any point 0 as origin, the point and the
vectors form a point-coordinate system for the 3-space.
In general, n vectors ai, as, . . . , a. are linearly dependent if there are n scalars
ai, at, . . . , a, not all zero, such that
"
2a, Ei aiai + ai&2 +

Thus one may speak of the vectorial coordinate system (ej). When these vectors are
associated with an origin O, the vectors and the point form a point-coordinate system
(0; e<) as in the cases of two and three dimensions.
If the vector x is called a geometric vector, the set of its coordinates ({i, fa )
in any coordinate system may be called an arithmetic vector, and each coordinate &
is an element of the arithmetic vector. For purposes of notation it is convenient to
distinguish the column vector, where the d are written in a column, from the row
vector, where they are written along a line. When the column vector is intended, we
shall enclose the elements between braces { fi, . . . , J for convenience of printing.
The column vector will be designated x; the row vector will be called the transpose
of the column vector and designated xT. Either arithmetic vector x or xT represents
the geometric vector x in the given coordinate system (e,), but a change in coordinate
system will in general change the representation (see Art. 1.3).

In the point-coordinate system (O; e;), let the point 0' correspond to the vector d

These equations relate the coordinates of a given point before and after a translation

This gives the result of changing the vectorial coordinate system. Suppose, on the
other hand, that the coordinate system remains fixed but every point in space is dis
placed in some fashion. The result is a point transformation, and it is linear provided
there exists a set of vectors (f) such that any vector x = ex is transformed into
x* = fx. That is to say, the arithmetic vector x that represents x in the system (e)
represents x* in the system (f). In particular e< is transformed into fi for each
* - 1, 2, .... .
Let f = eF . Then
x* = ix = eFx = ex*
x* = Fx

Now let the same transformation be referred to the coordinate system (e') instead
of (e). Then
x e'x' x' Ex
x* = eFx = e'EFX = e'EFE'x' = e'x'*
Hence the arithmetic vectors x' and x'* that represent x and its transform x* in the
system e' are related by
x'* = EFE'x'
The matrices F and EFE' are said to be similar.
To return to the system (e), if F is any matrix, then F defines a linear vector trans
formation if the vector x* = eFx = ex* is made to correspond to any vector x = ex.
Thus, with respect to a given coordinate system, every linear vector transformation is
specified by a matrix and every matrix defines a linear transformation.
It was not required that the system f = eF of vectors into which the coordinate
vectors transform should be itself a coordinate system, i.e., that the vectors fi be
linearly independent. If the vectors f< are linearly independent, then the vectors
e< can be expressed as linear combinations of the U, then the matrix F' exists, and
e - fF'
Sec. 3-1] ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY 3-11
In that event any vector x* is the transform of one and only one vector z, where, in
fact, if x* = ex*, then x = ex with x = F'x*. In this event the matrix F and the
transformation are said to be nonsingular or of rank n.
If the vectors U are linearly dependent, then there exists an arithmetic vector x ^ 0
such that fx = 0. Since f = eF, eFx = 0. But the vectors ei are linearly inde
pendent, whence Fx = 0. In this event the columns of F are said to be linearly
dependent, F is said to be singular, and its rank less than n.
Among the vectors f< there is a maximal set of linearly independent vectors. If
there are r vectors in this set, then every vector in the set (f ) is expressible as a linear
combination of these r vectors and every column of the matrix F is expressible as a
linear combination of the same r columns of F. The set (f) and the matrix F are both
said to be of rank r. The transformation transforms every vector x in the space into
a vector x* which lies in the r-dimensional subspace of linear combinations of these r
independent vectors of the set (f).

The two-by-two determinants are called minors. In general, when any row and any
column of a determinant are deleted, the resulting determinant is a minor of the

The next line in the above equation asserts that the transposed determinant has the

interchanges columns, then transposes again, the result is an interchange of rows in the
original. Hence an interchange of a pair of rows leads to a reversal of sign.

360. Actually the tangent and cotangent have periods 180.

Conversely, given an equation in the form of Eq. (66) and a particular point-
coordinate system (0;e), let a be the geometric vector whose covariant representation
is a': a = eG 'a', and let x = ex. Then Eq. (66) is equivalent to Eq. (65) and is
therefore the equation of the hyperplane as described. Thus when Eq. (59) is linear as
in Eq. (66), the hypersurfacc is a hyperplane, and conversely. It should be observed
that Eq. (05) is independent of any coordinate system but Eq. (66) is not.
In case the system (0;e) is orthonormal, a' = a and G = /. In this event
The vector n = a/||a|| is a unit vector in the direction a. If v = a/||a||, then the

Sec. 3-1] ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY 3-27
represents the hyperplane through Y parallel to the original hyperplane, and the
distance between the two planes is nTy v. This is
also the perpendicular distance from the hyperplane of

which states that the squared length of x is a. Hence for the surface to be real it is
necessary that a < 0, in which event this is the equation of a (hyper)sphere (a circle
in 2-space) whose center is the origin and squared radius a.
Returning to the more general equation (82), we can rephrase the property of
conjugacy as follows: Two vectors u and v are mutually conjugate in case
uTAv = vTAu = 0 (85)
If u and v are conjugate, let the line through the center of the quadric in the direction
u intersect the quadric at P. Then v is parallel to the tangent hyperplane at P. The
same statement holds when u and v are interchanged.
A vector v is not, in general, orthogonal to the vectors to which it is conjugate, but

This determinant expands into a polynomial in X of degree n, and hence Eq. (87) has
n roots, not necessarily distinct. For each such root X there is a nonnull vector v
satisfying Eq. (86). In fact, if X is a root of multiplicity n, then Eq. (86) will be found
to have m linearly independent solutions. These can be chosen mutually orthogonal
and of unit length.
Any root X of Eq. (87) is called a proper value (or latent root or characteristic value or
eigenvalue) of A, and a vector v satisfying Eq. (86) is called a proper vector (or latent
rector or characteristic vector or eigenvector) belonging to X. It can be shown that
proper vectors belonging to distinct proper values are orthogonal. In fact, let
Au = itu Av = Xn X ^ ft
Then vTAu = uTAv = iwTu = \uTv
But since uTv = vTu, it ^ X; therefore uTv = vTu = 0.

Let V represent the matrix of n orthonormal proper vectors:

This is the form to which Eq. (90) reduces after a suitable change of origin when

Any parabola can have its equation written in the form of Eq. (94) after a suitable
rotation and translation of axes. Conversely any curve whose equation can be put
into the form of Eq. (94) is a parabola. The parameter X is the length of the lotus
rectum, which is the focal chord parallel to the directrix. It is also twice the distance
of the focus from the directrix. The curve is symmetric with respect to the line
through the focus perpendicular to the directrix [the axis (O;e0 in Eq. (90)], and this
is therefore called the principal axis of the curve. The principal axis intersects the
curve at a point midway between the focus and the directrix [the origin in Eq. (94)],
and this point is called the vertex. The curve lies entirely in the half plane {a > 0.
For the ellipse and hyperbola, if the directrix is taken parallel to either axis (0;ei)
or (0;e2), Eq. (93) will have a form like Eq. (78) with A already in diagonal form:
A A. Suppose the directrix parallel to the axis (0;ej). Then after a translation
to the form of Eq. (82) with a = 1, the equation of an ellipse becomes
Both curves are symmetric with respect to both axes. Hence each has two foci
and two directrices. The longest chord in the ellipse is of length 2on, called the major
axis; en is the major semiaxis. The shortest central chord (diameter) is of length
2otj, called the minor axis; <n is the minor semiaxis. The points +aie, are the vertices;
the foci are iaitei; the directrices 1 = +a,/t, for ellipse as well as for hyperbola.
For a hyperbola the lines

The problem of solving a system of linear equations is that of finding the elements
of an arithmetic vector x to satisfy
Ax = fc (113)
where A is a known matrix and k is a known arithmetic vector. Whatever may have
been the original setting of the problem, one is always free to postulate an arbitrary
coordinate system (0;e), orthonormal or not, and relate the equations to the system.
Thus if
eA a (ai,as, . . .) eA- = k
Eqs. (113) can be interpreted as those satisfied by the coordinates of k in the resolution
along the vectors ai, as, . . . of the columns of A. Or one can take I

pret each scalar equation (113) as the equation of a hyperplane whose common
intersection x is required. In the special case when A is positive definite, one may
suppose that the system e is such that ere = A. Then if x = ex, one is asking for the
contravariant representation x of x (Art. 1.5) given its covariant representation k.
Finally, if A is symmetric, whether or not it is positive definite, the equations can be
related to Eq. (81), with x = p and k = a, and interpreted as defining the center of a
central quadric. Each of these interpretations suggests techniques for solving.

approaching the true solution as a limit. Strictly, an iterative method is one t hat will

application of the method will, in fact, yield an improvement.
A large class of direct methods are based upon Gaussian elimination and differ only
in the order in which the computations are carried out. If an ^ 0, multiply the first
equation by an/an and subtract from the second. In the resulting equation the
coefficient of {i will be

(cni/oii)ofn = 0
Having eliminated, say, {i from n 1 of the equations, one selects one of these,
using it to eliminate {j, say, from the remaining n 2 equations; from these one is
selected to eliminate |3, etc. The final result will be one equation that contains {

and It is now possible to solve for ; substitute and solve for sub
stitute both and solve for _.; . . . , eventually obtaining all the elements of the
vector x. This is called back substitution.
To organize the computation exactly in accordance with the description would
necessitate rather more recording than is strictly necessary. One notes that assuming
the equations to have been taken in order and the & eliminated in order, the result
of the elimination is a set of equations in the form
Wx = h (117)
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
where IF is an upper triangular matrix, which is to say that all its nonnull elements aro
on and above the main diagonal. Such matrices are readily inverted (precisely by the
method of back substitution). Moreover, the inverse is upper triangular, and the
product of two upper triangular matrices is again upper triangular. An upper
triangular matrix with units along the diagonal is unit upper triangular. The inverse
of such a matrix is also unit upper triangular, and the product of two such are again
of the same type. Analogous definitions and statements hold for (unit) lower tri
angular matrices.
Now in the reduction of the original system to the form of Eq. (117), each step
involves the multiplication on the left by a unit lower triangular matrix of a simple
form (only one off-diagonal element is nonnull at each elimination). The result of all
these is again that the system has been multiplied on the left by a unit lower triangular
matrix. This proves that in general, given any matrix A, it is possible to factorize
it into a product of the form
A = LW (118)
where L is unit lower triangular and W is upper triangular (or where W is unit upper
triangular and L lower triangular).
The diagonal elements of L are all known (to be ones) and those above the diagonal
are zeros; the elements of W below the diagonal are zeros. Hence in L and W together

The elements in this array are determined by relation (117) together with

An nth-order linear homogeneous difference equation is a relation of the form
oo{+ + aii+r-i +
+ ai, =0 oo ^ 0 (141)
connecting any n + 1 consecutive terms of a sequence . If a sequence is such
that any n + 1 consecutive terms satisfy Eq. (141), then the sequence is said to be a
solution of the difference equation. If J, and r\, are any two solutions of Eq. (141),
then a(, + f}y, = f is also a solution, where a and (3 are arbitrary fixed scalars. If
Xi is any root of Eq. (129), then the sequence *< satisfies Eq. (141). If Xt is a double
root of Eq. (129), then it can be verified that vxt' also satisfies Eq. (141); if Xi is a

Hence there are always at least n distinct solutions of Eq. (141). Conversely it can be
shown that given n distinct solutions {,(u, . . . , {'"' of Eq. (141), any solution is
expressible as a linear combination of these. Equation (129) is the characteristic
tquation of Eq. (141).
In case the terms 0, ti, . . . , -i of a solution are known, other terms of the

Application of difference equations will be made in Art. 4.3, but more important
is the fact that most numerical methods of solving differential equations require that
they first be replaced by approximating difference equations, not necessarily linear.
The two roots of a quadratic equation ax' + bx + c =0 are given by the quadratic
formula
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
x = (-6 V^-4oe)/(2a)
The quantity
A = 6* 4ac
which occurs under the radical is called the discriminant of the equation. If A < 0,
the roots are complex and distinct. Otherwise they are real, and they coincide when
A = 0.
Formulas exist for the roots of a cubic and also for the roots of a quartic equation.
For numerical computation they are of little practical value, and for equations of
degree 5 or higher such formulas do not exist for the general case (clearly they do in
special cases, as when factorization is known to be possible). However, there are
various methods of successive approximation, which permit a determination as
accurate as may be required (or as the accuracy of the coefficients will justify, in case
these are only approximate).
It will be supposed in this article that the equation to be solved has only simple
roots. It has already been shown (Art. 4.2) that all multiple roots satisfy an equation
of lower order which is obtainable from the equation and its first derived equation.
As a practical matter, however, an equation can have even a single pair of equal
roots only when its coefficients satisfy a certain algebraic identity. If the coefficients
were selected at random, the probability is zero that such an identity would be satisfied.
3-46 MATHEMATICS [Sec. 3
Other equalities among the roots imply other identities to be satisfied by the coeffi
cients. One can be assured that if the coefficients are given experimentally, then
unless they are required a priori to satisfy the conditions, they will not do so in fact.
However, there may be roots that are nearly equal. A pair of nearly equal real roots
will be nearly equal to a root of the derived equation (this will lie between them), and
it may be advantageous to find first this root of the derived equation.
For finding a real root, the method of false position is one of the simplest. Let the
equation be given by Eqs. (128) and (129), and let a be the root required. By graph
ing the function or otherwise, one can determine numbers io and xi such that the root
a alone lies between x0 and xi. The root a can be supposed a simple root, since
multiple roots can be found otherwise (Art. 4.2). Then/(x0) and/(xi) will be opposite
in sign. The chord joining the points [xo,/(xo)l and [x\,f(xi)] will therefore cross the
axis between xo and xi at
12 = \xo}(xi)
- Xl/(X0)]/[/(Xl) - /(xo)]
If /(xo) and /(x2) are opposite in sign, proceed with x% replacing xi ; otherwise proceed
with i2 replacing x0. One obtains thus a sequence of values of x that approach a.
Horner's method is equally simple. Suppose xa is an integer and Xt < a < x<>+ 1.
Reduce the roots (Art. 4.2) by x0. In the new equation the desired root is a xo
< 1. By trial determine the largest number of the set 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, . . . , 0.9 that
does not exceed a Xo, and reduce again by this amount. Let xi be the total amount
by which the roots have been reduced. Then the desired root in this equation is
a -xi < 0.1. By trial find the largest number of the set 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, .... 0.09
that does not exceed a Xi, and reduce by this amount, making a total of Xi. At

In principle, therefore, all roots canbe found by this process, although rounding errors

where the sum is taken over all points Ei in A. The points Ei will represent elemen
tary events, the regions A compound events, and the numbers p(Ei) and p(A) their
probabilities. Each Ei is (or represents) a possible outcome of an experiment; the
event A will be said to occur in case there occur any of the Ei that belong to A. The
actual assignment of the probabilities p(Ei) is a physical problem, not mathematical.
Thus, in tossing a single coin, one commonly assumes that the outcome will be one of
but two possible events, heads, which we denote Ei, and tails, which we denote Et
(the possibility that the coin may stand on edge is generally neglected). Then S
consists of only two points, Ei and 2. Usually one supposes that p(Ei) = p(Et) and
hence that each is H> but this assumption is by no means necessary, and, indeed,

6.2 Moments
Let a number x; be associated with each point Ei of a sample space S. This asso
ciation defines a function X over the sample space in the sense that the function X
will be said to take on the value xt when event Ei occurs. Such a function X is known
as a random variable. For a given number x, let A represent the set of all points Ei
for which ii
= x. i
If is not included among the x,, the set A is vacuous, but in any
event
p(X = x) = 0;
represent the diagonal matrix of the values x, assumed by X. Then if e is (as usual)
the vector each of whose elements = 1, the rth moment of X is
Mr = eTDx'p (169)
This is also called the expectation of X' and is sometimes denoted E(Xr). The first
moment m = m is called the mean, and the zeroth moment mo = eTp = 1, since this
is the sum of the p{Ei).
For any X the rth moment about X is
Evidently r, = 0. The second moment about the mean, <r* = vj, is called the
variance, and its positive square root a is the standard deviation. From Eq. (170) for
-
X = m one has the formula
T1 = M2 mi (172)
which expresses the variance in terms of the moments m and mi- Since the same
formula can be written with n't and m'i replacing mi and mi, it follows that the second
moment is least when taken about the mean.
If Y is another random variable defined over the same space S, one can define its
moments in the same fashion. Let m<, m, , o- represent the means and standard
deviations of the two random variables. Then the mean of the sum X + Y is the
-
sum of the means:
m*+, = eT(Dx + Dy)p m* + m, (173)
The variance of the sum is somewhat more complicated. First define the covariance
of A' and Y by

(174)
(Dx +D, - A - m,/)" = (D, - ,x,/)2 + 2(DX - mz/)(D - nj) + (D, - ,/)
it follows that the variance of X + Y is given by
= ax% + at* 1aayrxy (176)
When rXy = 0, the variables Ar and Y are said to be nncorrelated or statistically inde
pendent, and then one has simply
When rXy = 1, the variables are proportional, and in all cases 1 > rxy > I.
All the above definitions apply whether the probabilities p(Ei) are known a priori
or empirically. By the latter is meant that in N trials one observes that the event
Ei occurs ni times and then takes p(Ei) = ni/N. When the sample space S consists of
infinitely many points Ei, whether discrete or not, the definitions have a natural
extension but require the use of the notion of limits.
Among the values assumed by the random variable Y, let y be a particular one, and
let B represent the set of all Ei with which this value y is associated. Let e represent
the vector whose ?'th element is 1 if EaB but is otherwise 0. Then

The derivative of a function is the limit, if it exists, of the ratio of the increment of
the function to the corresponding increment of the independent variable when the
increment of the independent variable approaches zero. The increment of a variable
is the difference between two values of the variable. There are many notations for
the derivative of a function y = /(x) with respect to x. Among these notations are

The definition of a derivative can therefore be expressed, assuming the limit exists, by

preted as the velocity. The velocity at any instant of time is the derivative of the
distance with respect to the time.
Since the derivative of a function y = /(x) with respect to x is also a function of x,
it may also be differentiable. The function df/dx or /'(x) is called the first derivative
of /(x) and its derivative, denoted by (d/dx) (df/dx) m d'f/dx1 or /"(x), is called the
second derivative of /(x) with respect to x. In similar fashion further differentiation
leads to higher derivatives. A few of the notations for the nth derivative of y f(x) "

Higher-order partial derivatives are defined by repeated differentiations with respect
to any of the independent variables. For functions of three or more variables, partial
differentiation is carried out by holding constant all the independent variables except
one and then taking the ordinary derivative of the resulting function of one variable.

There are a large number of quadrature formulas for the approximate integration
of a function specified by a set of numerical values. As previously noted, any of the
interpolation formulas can lead to quadrature formulas. The trapezoidal rule and
Simpson's rule are the most commonly used. If h is the length of each subinterval,
the trapezoidal rule is

even.
Gauss's formula (see references) is the most accurate of the formulas ordinarily
used and can be used advantageously with high-speed machines.
2 FUNCTION THEORY
2.1 Real Variables
Generated for wjivans (University of Florida) on 2015-09-23 02:47 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015011142083
The subject matter of real variables may include the following topics: the system
of real numbers, sequences, infinite series, ordinal and cardinal numbers, set theory,
functions/ and limits, continuity and discontinuity, differentiation and integration, and
measure* theory. Infinite series and differentiation and integration are of such scope
that tliey arc discussed in other articles. Ordinal and cardinal numbers and measure
theopy are not felt to be essential here.
The System of Real Numbers and Sequences. The foundation of the
,nepry of functions of a real variable depends upon the real-number system. Although
!n!f refined concept of the real number is the starting point for any discussion of the
ftyhdamental parts of higher analysis, only the more important concepts and results
^*ill beindicated.
The concept of the natural numbers or positive integers 1,2,3, . . . may be taken
as a starting point. The class of rational numbers is obtained from the positive integers
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
in this order, corresponding to the natural order of the positive integer, are said to form
a sequence of rational numbers. The individual numbers that form the sequence are
called the elements of the sequence. The sequence
Hi, os , a, . . .
|a
an+m\ < where m = 1, 2, 3, . . .
The essential feature of Cantor's theory of irrational numbers is the assumption that
corresponding to every convergent sequence of rational numbers there exists a uniquely
determined object called a real number. Any real number can, therefore, be regarded
as being represented by a convergent sequence of rational numbers. Two real num
bers A and B defined by the convergent sequences of rational numbers \a \ and |6]
are said to be the same number or are equal if there exists an integer N such that for
all values of n > N
m = 1, 2, 3, . . .
\a+ b+\ <
Dedekind's method of partitions are equivalent in that starting with the rational
numbers the same system of real numbers can be developed.
If there exist a sequence \a | and a real number A such that the sequence {a A |
\
forms a null sequence, then the sequence \an\ is said to converge to the limit A and is
denoted by
lim a A \
n to \
This definition says that for every t > 0 there exists an N such that for all n > (f,
\an A\ < t. Every sequence that does not converge in the above sense is calli^
divergent. The Cauchy or general principle of convergence states that the necessary an }
sufficient condition for the convergence of the sequence |a| is that for every < > 0,
there exists an N such that for n > N, \an+m o,| < t, where m = 1, 2, 3, . . . .
The system of real numbers can be considered sufficient for the needs of the theory \
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
of functions of real variables, since the real numbers form a closed system with respect
to arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
extraction of roots of positive numbers, and powers, and the limiting process. A
number system is called closed with respect to an operation or process if this process
results in a number contained in the system.
It is possible to set up a one-to-one correspondence between the points of a straight
line and the real-number system. Because of this possibility, the properties and
definitions of the real-number system have a geometrical interpretation.
2.12 Set Theory. The starting point for most mathematical developments is
certain objects such as numbers or letters. A set (or class or aggregate or collection)
is defined by any property that any particular one of these objects does or does not
have. The objects that have the property are called elements of the set. This is
symbolized by
s*S
where s is an element and S is the set. An empty set does not contain any elements;
i.e., there are no objects having the property of the set.
Two sets Si and S2 are called equal, and in symbols Si = Si if every element of S,
is an element of St and conversely if every element of Sj is an clement of Si. If all
Sec. 3-2] ANALYSIS 3-77
the elements of a set Si are simultaneously elements of a set Si, then Si is called a
subset of Sj, and this relationship is denoted by Si C Si. The notation S2 3 Si
indicates the same relationship, and Si is said to include Si. If Si C S2 and Si C Si,
then S, = St. If S, C S, and S, C S,, then S, C S,. If S, C S, but S, is not
equal to St, symbolized Si ^ St, then Si is called a proper subset of Si.
The intersection (or logical product or meet) of two sets Si and Sj is denoted by
Si C\ St and is the set consisting of all elements common to the sets Si and S2. The
union (or logical sum) of two sets Si and Ss is denoted by Si W Si and is the set con
sisting of all elements that belong to at least one of the sets Si and St. The definitions
ofintersection and union hold for an arbitrary number of sets. If the intersection of
two sets Si and Si is the empty set, then the two sets are called disjoint or mutually
exclusive. If Si is a subset of a set S, then the complementary set of Si with respect to
S is the set of elements of S obtained by omitting the elements of S that are elements of
Si. Generally the term complement of a set is used with respect to a fundamental,
and therefore understood, set, such as the set of real numbers.
Sets may first of all be classified into finite and infinite according to whether they
contain a finite or infinite number of elements. An infinite set is called enumerable
if,
if,
(or denumerable or countable) and only a one-to-one correspondence can be set
up between the elements of the set and the positive integers. Here the term countable
will be used to indicate either finite or an enumerable set. noncountable or

For a linear set S a point a is called an upper bound if s < a for every point s of the
set S. The point a is a lower bound if > o for every point s of the set. The point a
is called the least upper bound for the set S if it is an upper bound and if for any > 0
there exists a point of 8 greater than a . The greatest lower bound a for a set is
similarly a lower bound such that there is a point of the set less than a + t, where
* > 0.
Two of the important theorems of set theory follow.
Heine-Borel Theorem. Let the closed set of points S be covered by a set of intervals ;
then there exists a finite number of intervals that likewise cover S. A set S is said to
be covered by a set of intervals / if every point of the set S is interior to at least one
of the intervals of the set /.
Weierstrass-Bolzano Theorem. If S is an infinite bounded set there exists at least
one limit point.
2.13 Functions and Their Limits. If in the course of a discussion a symbol may
be assigned various numerical values, the symbol is called a variable. A constant
assumes but one numerical value during a discussion. A real variable has values in the
set of real numbers. Given two variables x and y, y is called a function of x if to
every value of x in the domain of x there is determined a definite value or values of y.
This functional relationship is denoted symbolically by y = f(x). x is called the
independent variable and y is called the dependent variable. The vital aspect of the
definition of a function is that for every value the independent variable takes on, the
corresponding value or values of the dependent variable are uniquely determined.
The set of values that the independent variable assumes is prescribed and is called
Generated for wjivans (University of Florida) on 2015-09-23 02:47 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015011142083
the domain. The set of values taken on by the dependent variable is called the range.
A function is called single-valued if the dependent variable takes on but one value for
each value of the independent variable. If for any value of the independent variable
the dependent variable takes on more than one value, the function is called multivalued
(or multiple-valued).
A polynomial function has the form
n
where the a,- are constants and n is a positive integer. A rational function is theratio
of two polynomial functions. An algebraic function is defined by means of the
equation
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
7 /.(i)a._, = 0
where the/;(x) are rational funct ions of x. Transcendental functions are functions that
are not algebraic.
The theory of functions of a real variable deals with correspondences between two
sets of real numbers, designated the independent and dependent variables. The
terminology of set theory therefore applies to the set y. The function /(x) is said to be
bounded, have a least upper bound, etc., if the set y does. If the least upper bound
of a function is a point taken on by the function, then it is called the maximum (or
maximum value) of the function. The minimum is associated similarly with the
greatest lower bound.
The quantity f(x) is said to have a limit b as x tends to x<>if for any c > 0 there
exists a i > 0 such that |/(x) 6| < c for all x for which 0 < |x Xo| < *. Sym
bolically this relation is written
lim /(x) = b
Sec. 3-2] ANALYSIS 3-79
From the definition of the limit of a function, it follows that if the limit exists, the
value approached by fix) as x approaches xo does not depend upon the value of f(x)
at io and also is independent of the particular set of values that x takes on in approach
ing xo. If the independent variable x is allowed to take on only values larger than
io or less than xo, then the respective limits are called right-hand and left-hand limits.
These are symbolized, respectively, by
The Cauchy or general principle of convergence states that a necessary and suffi
cient condition for the existence of a limit to fix) as x tends to Xo is that for > 0
are called iterated (or repeated) limits. An iterated limit indicates that first an
ordinary limit is taken for one variable holding the other variable (or variables) fixed
and then a limit is taken for the other variable (or other variable with the remaining
fixed). The simultaneous limit
lim f(x,y)
x*xt
has the value A if for c > 0 there exists a positive number 4 such that \f(x,y) A\ < t
for all x and y such that 0 < \x io| < 4 and 0 < \y yo\ < 4. If the simultaneous
limit exists, then the two iterated limits exist and are equal. The converse does not
hold, since the simultaneous limit can be nonexistent and yet the two iterated limits
may exist and even be equal.

Let f(x) be continuous in the interval [a,b], then the following results hold:
1. f(x) is uniformly continuous in the interval.
2. /(a) and/(6) have opposite signs; then there exists at least one value of x in the
interval for which f(x) vanishes.
3. /(a) & f(b); then as x takes on all values between a and 6, f(x) takes on at least
once all values between f(a) and fib).
4. If f(x) is single-valued in [a,b], then there exists at least one point of [a,6] at which
f{x) takes on a maximum value. Likewise there exists a value of x where the minimum
is attained.
5. The function is bounded in that interval.
6. The function is uniquely determined at every point of the interval by prescribing
the function at a set of points everywhere dense in the interval [a,b].
Art. 2 of Sec. 3-1. The set of complex numbers can be put into one-to-one corre
spondence with the points of a plane. This correspondence associates the complex
number z =x + iy with the point in the plane whose rectangular or Cartesian
coordinates are (x,y). Because of this association this plane is called the complex or
z plane. This geometric association for complex numbers not only gives a geometrical
interpretation for operations involving complex numbers but also allows the use of
geometric terminology such as points and distances when discussing complex numbers.
When the improper point z = o is added, the complex plane is closed.
The number or point z can also be thought of as a vector that originates at the origin
of the coordinate system and ends at the coordinates (x,y).
The points of the closed complex plane can be mapped by stereograph ic projection
one-to-one onto the points of a sphere called the Riemann sphere (or sphere of com
plex numbers). In this mapping, the south pole is placed at the origin and correspond
ing points for the sphere and plane lie on a ray that originates at the north pole.

Although it is possible to formulate other necessary and sufficient conditions for
analyticity, it is customary to consider the consequences of analyticity whether they,
in turn, imply analyticity or not. Some important consequences of analyticity
follow.
1. Canchy's Integral Formula. If f(z) is analytic in a region D, then Cauchy's
integral formula
2m JC z
z0
is valid for every simple, closed, positively oriented curve C and for every point z0
interior to the curve C.
2. Higher Derivatives. If a single-valued function f(z) is analytic in a region, then
not only does the function by definition have a first derivative in the region but it also
has all higher derivatives. The formulas

u(x,y) and v (x,y) satisfy in that region the partial differential equation

This series, called a Taylor's series, converges and represents /(z) in the largest circle
with center z0 that encloses only points of D. If z0 = 0, a Taylor's series is called a
Maclaurin's series.
5. Laurent's Series. Let/(z) be analytic in the annular region D bounded by two
concentric circles with center z0; then /(z) can be represented by the Laurent's series
V a(z

a = - zo)-""1^)
where
^ jc (f <2f
and C is a simple closed curve lying in D and enclosing the inner circle.
6. Identity Theorem. If two functions are analytic in a region, and if they coincide,
in any neighborhood of any point Zo of the region or any curve terminating at z0 or
even for an infinite number of distinct points with the limit point Zo, then the two
functions are equal throughout the region.
7. Principle of the Maximum Modulus. The maximum modulus of a function
analytic in a closed region always lies on the boundary of the region.
3-84 MATHEMATICS [Sec. 3
8. Liouville's Theorem. If a function /(z) is analytic and its modulus |/(z)| is
bounded for all values of z in the complex plane, then /(z) is a constant.
2.24 Singularities and the Classification of Functions. If a function can be
made analytic at a point z0 by merely assigning the function a new value at the point
Zo, then the function is said to have a removable singularity at z0. An isolated singular
point of a function is a singular point that can be enclosed by a circle containing no
other singular point of the function. An isolated singular point Zo of a function f(z)
is called a pole of order n if a positive integer n exists such that
(z
- *,)V()
is analytic at z = z0 and is different from zero when z = z0. In case n = 1, the pole is
called a simple pole. An isolated singular point Zo of a function /(z) is called an
essential singularity of f(z) if
lim (z r0)"/(z) -
t*Zti
tends to infinity for all finite values of n. z = z0 is called a branch point of the function
/(z) if /(zo + pe^) is not periodic in tp with period 2ir, where p is chosen so that Zo + p***
is in the region of analyticity of for all <p./
The nature and location of the singularities of a function /(z) lead to the following
classification:
1. By Liouville's theorem if /(z) has no singularities, it is a constant.
2. If /(z) has only an isolated singularity at infinity, it is called an entire (or integral)
function. If the singularity is a pole of order n, then the entire function becomes a

polynomial of order n.
3. If /(z) has only poles in a finite region, then it is called a mcromorphic function
of z in that region. If /(z) has only poles in the finite z plane and either is analytic or
has an isolated singularity at infinity, then it is called mcromorphic.
4. If f(z) has a branch point it is a multivalued function.

3.12 Comparison Test. Let 2c and 2d be two series with positive terms, and
furthermore, let Ze converge and 2ri diverge. If a < c for all n greater than some

Root Test. If the series with positive terms 2a is such that for all n > N,
y/a* < a < 1

then the series diverges.

3.42 Sturm-Liouville Series. Systems of the following types:
where the prime (') denotes differentiation with respect to x, are known as Sturm-
Liouville systems. The coefficients r(x) > 0, g(x), and p(x) are taken to be continuous
functions of x in the interval a < x < b, and X is an arbitrary parameter. The great
interest in S-L (Sturm-Liouville) theory arises largely from the fact that many
boundary-value problems in physics and engineering lead to questions that can be
answered by using S-L theory.
Consider the general second-order linear differential equation
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
where X is a parameter and where /2 > 0, fx, /o, and go are continuous functions of x.
The general homogeneous boundary conditions
where p = (ffo//j)r and g (}o/Ji)r, is obtained. It follows that the S-L system is
quite general.
The differential equation of an S-L is self-adjoint. An S-L system is called sclf-
adjoint when
(a,0, -
0,ajV(b) = (a,0, ari/9.)r(a)
-
The most common type of self-adjoint S-L system has two additional conditions.
First p(x) is assumed not to vanish for o < x < 6. In this case both r(x) and p(x)

In the elliptic case, A > 0, the characteristics are complex. Finally for the parabolic

Although the term boundary-value problem can be used in connection with ordinary
differential equations, difference equations, integral equations, and variational prob
lems, the term generally denotes a partial differential equation and a set of auxiliary
conditions. Some authors separate such problems into initial-condition or boundary-
value problems according to whether the conditions are specified at some initial time
or all the conditions depend upon the space coordinates but not upon an initial state.
The following two comments should be noted when dealing with boundary -value
problems. First, the number of boundary conditions is usually equal to the sum
of the orders of the highest derivative with respect to each independent variable. For
example, in Problem 1 of Art. 4.51, the number of boundary conditions is four while

Since the left-hand side of this equation is a function only of x and the right-hand side
is a function only of y, both sides must be independent of x and y and therefore equal
to some constant X. The term separation of variables is seen to be derived from having
separated all the functions in an equation that depend only upon a certain variable
from the other functions that depend upon the other variables. The constant X is
called the separation constant or parameter.
The use of the separation constant results in the two equations

More generally, when difference equations replace any elliptic equation and its
boundary conditions, a system of linear equations results. The numerical method in
such cases is called implicit.
Parabolic Equations. The numerical solution of parabolic and hyperbolic equations
can be calculated with step-by-step processes. In contrast to implicit methods, these
step-by-step processes are called explicit methods.
Consider the heat equation Ui = aUn with the boundary conditions U(x,0) = f(x),
U(0,t) = ffi(<), U(L,t) = gt(t). Let the strip t > 0, 0 < x < L be covered with a net

of equal rectangles with sides Ax h and At = k, where L is an integer multiple of h.
If U, is replaced by [U(x, I + k) U(x,t)]/k and t/ is replaced by [U(x + h, i) -
2U(x,t) + U(x h, t)]/h* the heat equation is expressed by
U(x, t + k) = rU(x + h, t) + (1
- 2r)U(x,t) + rU(x - h, t)
where r = ka/h*. With this formula it is possible to calculate the values of U on the
t + k line if the values of U are known on the I line. Now the values of V on the line
t = 0 are given by U(x,0) f(x), and therefore it is possible to calculate the values

6.1 Vector Analysis
A discussionof vectors appears in Art. 1 of Sec. 3-1. The primary objective here is
to present some of the more common and useful formulas and results of vector analysis.
6.11 Scalar and Vector Products. The scalar (or inner or dot) product of two
vectors a and b is denoted by a b or (a,b). The magnitude or length of a vector a
is denoted by |a|. The vector (or cross) product of two vectors is denoted by a X b.
It is customary to express a vector in 3-space in terms of three unit vectors i, j, k along
the positive x, y, and z axes. In Sec. 3-1 the unit vectors are denoted by e2, and
e3. ta denotes a unit vector in the positive a direction. The two vectors a and b,
therefore, can be written as a = aii + a2j + ask and b = bii + bjj + 6jk; the follow
ing elementary relations may be noted:

1. There exists at least one eigenvalue X0.
2. All the eigenvalues are real, and the eigenfunction can be assumed real.

The methods of calculus of variation are generally separated into direct and indirect
methods. In the direct method a suitable approximate variational problem is formu
lated in which a finite set of n constants or parameters is to be determined. It then
may be possible to let n tend to infinity in the solution of the approximate problem
and thus lead to the solution of the original problem. In the indirect method a
related differential equation, often called the Euler equation, is usually obtained.
Some solution of the differential equation can then be shown to solve the variational
problem. Only some elementary results of the indirect method follow.

It is apparent that many of the practical problems of science and engineering are
essentially computational. The last decade has seen the viewpoint toward computa
tions change radically because of the advent of high-speed machines. This should be
expected in any field where an improvement of high order, say 10* or more, has
suddenly taken place. The improvment here is in the length of time required to carry
out certain mathematical operations.
Rules for multiplication and division are somewhat more complicated. Desk calcu
lators perform one or more of the arithmetic operations automatically. Thus, for
addition, one enters the commands by pressing keys, and then one presses the appro
priate operation button at which the machine adds and exhibits the result on a dial.
It is explained elsewhere that transcendental functions, square roots, etc., can be
represented approximately by means of interpolation polynominals, truncated power
series, continued fractions, and the like. Given such a representation, one can
evaluate the function approximately by carrying out a finite number of arithmetic
operations. Techniques have also been developed in some cases for obtaining these
approximate representations; e.g., when the function is known to satisfy a given
differential equation, these techniques themselves require the performance of arith
metic operations, finite in number (numerical solution of differential and other equa
tions). One uses a digital computer to "solve" a mathematical problem in the sense
that the arithmetic operations can be carried out on the computer. The result, is

incorporated in any program that requires them. The larger the library of such pre-
coded routines, the less the labor of coding a new problem, in general, and the more
feasible it is to use the machine for any given problem.
For all machines, addition, subtraction, and multiplication are built-in operations.
For some, it is necessary to program division, although this is built in for most. But.
also certain logical operations are necessary, the jump operations being the most
important. Machines differ considerably in their logical operations. They also
differ in t heir representation of numbers. Most computers built for scientific purposes
use the base 2, but others, like the Univac (built by Remington Rand), are decimal.
Binary representation permits a very simple arithmetic unit but requires initial con
version of the data into binary form and a final conversion of the results into decimal
form. Both of these conversions can be coded for the machine.
A decimal machine will use four flipflops to represent each decimal digit. Of the
16 possible states of the set of four binary elements, only 10 are utilized, the other 6
being meaningless. This, together with the more complicated arithmetic, necessitates
more circuitry.
A further difference among machines is that some (like the Univac and the Prince
ton-type machines) are fixed-point and some (like the NORC, Navy, Dahlgren,
Virginia) are floating-point. In a floating-point machine, one set of flipflops is used
to designate the location of the decimal or binary point. This represents an integral
exponent of the base, whether 2 or 10.
In fixed-point machines, it is presumed that all numbers handled by the machine
lie in a limited range generally but not always (e.g., the SEAC, National Bureau of
Standards, Washington, D.C.) between 1 and +1. This requires that all quantities

be scaled so as to fall in range, and the programer must take care not to call for an
operation that would yield a result outside this range. Some machines have an
"overflow" device of some sort that detects the occurrence of such an illegitimate
operation. It is always possible to program floating-point operations (at considerable
expense in terms of speed of operation).
For some problems the number of digits representable by a Bingle word does not
provide sufficient precision. Thus the Oracle's 40-digit word provides 1 binary digit
for the sign and 39 for the magnitude. This is equivalent to about 11 decimal digits.
For rare problems the rounding errors build up to such an extent that higher precision
is required. For such it is possible to program "double-precision" operations by
means of which two words can be used to represent each number. As with floating
point operations, however, the speed is greatly reduced.
As already mentioned, the advantage of the binary representation lies in the fact
that the arithmetic is simpler and that all states of the flipflops, instead of only 'P-^e

constantly because of the rapid increase in the availability of machines and in the
number of tested programs.
The on-off elements, as physically realized in the store, are always different from
those in the rest of the machine. Some machines (e.g., the Princeton type) use a
rectangular or square array of spots on the face of a cathode-ray tube. All possible
charge distributions within any spot are separated into two classes. Any distribution
of the one class is taken to represent "on," and any other "off." Magnetized spots
on a rotating drum are used in others; acoustic signals in a mercury tank or nickel bar
in others. The drum is the favored device in the less expensive and slower machines.
The mercury tank is used in the Univacs, and nickel in the Elliott machines in England.
These are intermediate in speed. Newer machines are utilizing magnetized cores of
iron oxides somewhat faster than the cathode-ray tube and transistors, which to date
are slower.
Most of the high-speed digital computers are truly general-purpose computers. In
theory these machines are capable of finding approximate solutions to any mathe
matical problem requiring a quantitative answer. In addition, they arc capable of
solving most business, military, and governmental problems that involve either
logical decisions or data processing.
The mathematics carried out by digital computers is largely that associated with
the field of numerical analysis. Since the customary engineering or science major is
not trained in numerical analysis, it is usually necessary to have a group of people
especially trained who work only with the digital computer.
The common distinction between digital and analogue computing machines is that
digital machines deal with discrete quantities represented, for example, by counters
or toggles while analogue machines deal with continuous quantities, represented, for
example, by voltages or shaft rotat ions. The slide rule is an example of an elementary
analogue machine.
The cost of an analogue machine is closely related to the accuracy desired from the
machine. Accuracy of 1 per cent is relatively cheap and easy. However, all analogue
machines, primarily because they depend upon continuous measurements, have been
limited in accuracy to less than 0.01 per cent.
Analogue computers can be characterized according to whether the primary com
ponents are mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic. Because of the ease of
operation and maintenance and the relative cheapness, electronic, or d-c, analogue
computers are by far the most numerous. The following remarks therefore concern
d-c analogue computers.
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
A d-c analogue computer uses d-c voltages, which vary with time, to represent vari
ables. The independent variable of a system of ordinary differential equations is
generally associated with the independent variable, physical time, of the computer.
The solution of a system of differential equations by a d-c computer consists, therefore,
of preparing the computer so that the circuit equations or equations of motions are
similar to or analogous to the given system. Analogue computers that are able to
solve ordinary differential equations are commonly called differential analyzers.
Before indicating in more detail how an electronic differential analyzer is used to solve
ordinary differential equations, it is desirable to consider the representation of mathe
matical quantities in and the computing elements needed for such a computer.
As already indicated, a set of mathematical variables x, y, . . . , z is represented
in a computer by corresponding d-c voltages or machine variables X, Y, . . . , Z.
The machine variables are generally taken as simply proportional, the proportionality
factors being scale factors to the mathematical variables. A problem requires that
certain relations among the machine variables be set up in the computer. For
example, if y is a function of x, then the voltage Y must be set up as a corresponding
function of the voltage X. Physical time r serves as an input to certain computing
devices, such as circuits containing capacitors, in order to produce voltages that
depend upon time. The independent variable I of the mathematical problem is
Sec. 3-3] HIGH-SPEED COMPUTING MACHINERY 3-147
generally taken proportional to the physical time t; that is, t = at, where a is a scale
factor.
In most commercial electronic analogue computers, complicated relations among
(he machine variables and therefore mathematical variables are obtained by combining
a limited number of simple relations or operations. It can be shown that a wide class
of problem can be solved by using computing elements that carry out the following
operations:
1. Multiply a machine variable by a positive or negative constant.
2. Add two or more machine variables.
3. Integrate or differentiate a machine variable.
4. Obtain the product of two or more machine variables.
5. Obtain a desired function of a machine variable.
A potentiometer or voltage divider is used to multiply a voltage by a positive
constant c;0 ScSl. For convenience, potentiometer dials are usually adjusted by
hand and then locked in position.
Direct-current amplifiers with feedback, called operational amplifiers, are used for
four purposes: amplifying, inverting, summing, and integrating. In an operational
amplifier it is possible to multiply a d-c voltage by constants larger than 1. Cus
tomarily the factor of amplification is chosen to be 1, 4, or 10, whichever is desired.
Since the sign of the output voltage is opposite that of the input voltage, the amplifier
acts as an inverter. The use of potentiometers and operational amplifiers thus allows
a machine variable to be multiplied by any real constant.
It is possible to apply several different input voltages to an operational amplifier and
with the appropriate circuit arrangement obtain the sum of the voltages as the output.
Generated for wjivans (University of Florida) on 2015-09-23 02:47 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015011142083
It is also possible to connect the same input voltage to two or more input terminals.
The second operation of adding machine variables is thus accounted for by using
operational amplifiers.
Arrangements can usually be made so that integrators are used in place of differen
tiators on a differential analyzer. The use of a capacitor with a d-c amplifier gives an
electronic circuit that integrates quite accurately. The integration of d-c voltages is
generally carried out with respect to the physical t ime t.
The product of two machine variables and the generation of nonlinear functions of a
machine variable are more difficult to obtain than the above linear operations. The

reasonably quantitative understanding of a very wide variety of phenomena. In the
field of nuclear physics there is as yet no convincing reason to doubt the validity of
the principles of quantum mechanics, although the range of their successful quanti
tative application is more limited than in atomic theory and they can in many instances

of the theory of radiation.

and each term is roughly of the order of magnitude (kit)1 = (2irR/\)', since the inte
gration is confined to a region of radius R. The field corresponding to a term with
index I is called a multipole of order 21 (I = 1, dipole; 1 = 2, quadrupole). In general
R/\ is an exceedingly small quantity, so that only the first nonvanishing term is of
importance, the total intensity of the radiation falling off roughly as (R/X)u.
The case which occurs most frequently in radiation from an atom is that in which
the first nonvanishing term is that with I = 1, i.e., dipole radiation. The field then
turns out to depend only on the quantity
which is called the dipole moment. The total intensity of the radiation Q (energy
emitted per second) is then given by
Q = tLD> (4)
In radiation from nuclei the dipole moment is ordinarily zero, and the properties of
the radiation will depend on quadrupole or higher moments, which are integrals over
the distribution of a more complicated kind than in Eq. (3) above.

Closely related to the photoelectric effect is the more recently (1923) discovered
Cornplon effect.] In the scattering of X rays by atoms there is observed a small
increase in the wavelength of the scattered light which is dependent on the angle 6
between the directions of the incident and scattered beams, the shift in wavelength
at a given angle being given by AX = (h/mc)(l cos 8), where m is the mass of the
electron and c the velocity of light. Again the process is directly understandable if
it is pictured as due to a collision between a photon and a free electron. The assump
tion of conservation of energy and momentum, J with the photon having a momentum
hv/c as well as an energy hv, leads directly to the above expression for the wavelength
shift in its dependence on angle. The decrease in frequency of the scattered radiation
is attributable to the loss of energy of the photon in the encounter. Arguments similar
to those for the photoelectric effect show that the existence of the Compton effect
is irreconcilable with any reasonable picture of radiation as a continuous wave
phenomenon.
The picture of a monochromatic beam of light as a stream of particles (photons)
moving with velocity c and having energy hv and momentum hv/c is thus one which
is supported by direct experimental evidence. On the other hand the picture of light
as a form of wave motion is equally well established experimentally, primarily through
the phenomena of interference, which requires for its direct interpretation a picture of
light as some form of continuous wave motion. In fact, vacillation between a picture

of light as waves and a picture of it as particles can be traced through nearly three
hundred years of the development of physical thought. It is now believed, however,
that a decision is impossible and that a complete description requires the compli
mentary use of both pictures and, indeed, that such a paradoxial dualism is a necessary
element in any theory of matter as well as of radiation (see Art. 1.31).
1.14 The Special Theory of Relativity. Electrodynamics and the Lorentz Trans
formation. The origins of the theory of relativity are to be found in the difficulties
and paradoxes encountered in the problem of determining the frame of reference in
which the Maxwell equations are valid, for these equations, which govern all optical
and electromagnetic phenomena, do not have the same form in two coordinate systems
that are moving relative to each other with a uniform velocity. Consequently, a
coordinate system in which they have their usual form (and with respect to which light
will therefore be propagated with velocity c = 3 X 1010 cm/sec) will be singled out
as a unique frame of reference in the sense that the velocity of any other frame of
Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google
are invariant in form under this transformation, which is known as the Galilean
transformation.
The required equivalence of moving reference systems as regards the laws of electro
dynamics implies that the Maxwell equations should be relativist ically invariant.
This can be achieved by a formal modification of the Galilean transformation, provided
the field vectors E and H are at the same time suitably transformed. The modified
coordinate transformation has the form

and is
as V/c * 0 and so is equivalent to it unless the systems involved have relative veloci
ties comparable to that of light. It differs from the Galilean transformation, however,
in that time, as well as the space coordinates, has different values in the two reference
systems. While the mathematical properties of the Lorentz transformation were
already known, it was Einstein who first gave it physical reality by showing that its
apparently paradoxical consequences are philosophically acceptable. In particular,
the assignment of different times in the two reference systems for a single event is
physically understandable as soon as time is recognized as a measured quantity and
not an abstraction.
Among the kinematical consequences of the Lorentz transformation is the shortening
of distances in the direction of motion known as the Lorenlz contraction: A body at
rest in a given reference system and having an extension I in the x direction will have
Maxwell equations (that invariance for the Lorentz transformation) all problems
concerning the effect of motion on optical and elect rodynamic phenomena are satis
factorily solved. However, new questions are raised in mechanics, since the New
tonian equations of motion are invariant only for the Galilean transformation and

not for the Lorentz transformation. This situation led Einstein to propose a modifi
cation of the Newtonian equations which gives them the required property of rela
tivistic invariance. Such relativistic equations of motion must, of course, be equiva
lent to the ordinary ones except at very high velocities, and this requirement, together
with that of invariance, is practically sufficient to single out the following reformu
lation of mechanics, the validity of which has been amply demonstrated in experi
mentation with high-speed electrons and other elementary particles.
In place of the Newtonian equation of motion (rf/d/)(m0v) = F for a particle of
mass too and velocity v acted on by a force F, the relativistic formulation requires
dl\ -p
ii_^!!l_=F (10)
where fl = v/c. For velocities small compared with that of light (0 1) the deviation
from the Newtonian equation is of order p; for speeds comparable to that of light the
result may be interpreted as an increase in mass of the particle according to the
equation

m = mo .
(11)
since with this definition of a variable mass Eq. (10) has precisely the Newtonian form
(d/dt)(mv) = F. This variable mass increases indefinitely as v c, and the velocity
of light is accordingly a limit that cannot be exceeded.
As in ordinary mechanics the equation of motion leads to an expression for the rate

would be identical with a frequency that the atom could emit or absorb. The com
plexity of the line spectra of atoms made it highly improbable that so simple a model
could be adequate, and it was, in fact, shown very clearly by Rutherford in 191 1 that
the positive electricity in atoms, and hence also all but a minute fraction of the atomic
mass, must be concentrated in a central nucleus of radius about a ten-thousandth that
of the atoms. The evidence for such a structure of the atom came from the scattering
of a particles (helium atoms) of very high energy by thin foils. Such scattering must
be attributed to individual encounters between atoms, and deflections through large
angles were found to be much more frequent that could be accounted for in any other
way than by the assumption that an inverse square law of repulsion operates down to
distances of the order of 10-IJ cm and hence that very large forces are involved in close
encounter. (In the Thompson atom with its continuous charge distribution* the force
would diminish toward the center.) Furthermore, the angular distribution of the
deflected a particles was in good agreement with that to be expected from an inverse

square (coulomb) law of force and a quantitative measure could be obtained of the
magnitude of the positive charge of a nucleus. Since the atom as a whole is neutral,
this positive charge is a measure of the number of electrons, and for a variety of ele
ments it could be shown that the number Z of electrons is about equal to the atomic
number, that is, to the ordinal number giving the position of an element in an arrange
ment according to increasing chemical atomic weight. On the basis of such evidence
and similar indications from the scattering of X rays the hypothesis that the number
of electrons in an atom is exactly equal to its atomic number was proposed by Ruther
ford in 1911 and immediately accepted.
In the Rutherford atomic model, then, the lightest element, hydrogen, has one elec
tron; helium, the next in order of atomic weight has two; and in uranium, the heaviest
atom then known, there are Z = 92 electrons. These electrons are acted on by an

than 10" l* cm and are to be thought of as in motion in orbits about the central nucleus.
1.22 The Bohr Theory of the Hydrogen Atom. While the Rutherford model
clearly gave the correct picture of the structure of atoms, fundamental difficulties were
at once encountered in any attempt to account for the properties of atoms on the basis
of the dynamics of the "planetary" electrons moving under electrostatic forces.
Even such an elementary fact as that atoms have a well-defined size appears anomalous,
since "orbits" of any dimensions are dynamically possible. Furthermore, no orbital
motions of the electrons would be stable, since an accelerated charge emits energy in
the form of electromagnetic radiation (cf. Art. 1.11), and the motions would be damped
until there was complete collapse of electrons into the nucleus.
An elementary problem in atomic theory, in which difficulties of the above kind
appear sharply, is that of accounting for the observed frequencies of the spectral lines
emitted by the hydrogen atom. If the damping effect of radiation, which is quite
small, is neglected, the single electron in such an atom would move in an ellipse about
the nucleus. The frequencies emitted would be integral multiples of the fundamental
frequency of this periodic motion. Not only is the observed spectrum quite different
in structure from such a set of equally spaced lines, but the very existence of definite
frequencies is unexplained, since nothing in the model determines what this funda
mental frequency should be. It was this dilemma which led Bohr, in 1913, to propose
a basic revision of the laws of atomic dynamics and the radiation process at the atomic
level while at the same time retaining as much as possible of the laws of "classical"
mechanics.
The theory of the hydrogen spectrum proposed by Bohr was based on two postu
lates. The first of these was the assumption that atoms can exist only in stationary

where E' and E" are the energies of the two stationary states involved and h is the
quantum of action first introduced by Planck in his theory of the black-body spectrum.
This Bohr frequency condition is clearly a kind of reversal of Einstein's equation for
the photoelectric effect, with the frequency of the light determined by the energy-
available instead of the energy of the photoelectron being determined by the frequency
of the light. The form of Eq. (19) was also suggested by an empirically known rule

was a purely ad hoc assumption having only a vague analogy to Planck's quantization

the energies of the stationary states are

giving for the smallest orbit with n = 1 the radius 0.53 X 10~8 cm, which was of the
correct order of magnitude for atomic dimensions.
A radically new picture of the hydrogen atom and the process of emission and
absorption of radiation was thus proposed by Bohr. Only certain mechanical motions
of the electron, defined by a rule of quantization and labeled by a quantum number,
were assumed to have a real existence, every change in state of the atom consisting
in a transition (assumed instantaneous) between two such stationary states. Among
these states, called also energy levels, there is one of minimum energy (or maximum
binding energy t) called the ground stale or normal state. This is the state with quan
tum number n = 1, and from it the atom may be raised to an excited state of higher
quantum number if energy is communicated to it, as by collision with a particle or by
absorption of light. The process of light emission involves a transition from such an
excited state to one of lower energy. The frequency condition of Eq. (19) was assumed
to hold for absorption as well as for emission; that is, the atom can absorb in a transi

tion from an energy level to one of higher energy only radiation which it can emit in
the reverse transition.
It was soon found that additional details of the hydrogen spectrum could be
accounted for on the basis of the Bohr theory. For example, allowing for the very
small effect of the motion of the nucleus as well as of the electron gives rise to a slight
displacement of the frequencies of the hydrogen lines which is in exact accord with

component of the angular momentum vector in a given direction. The corresponding
electron orbits, when the deviation from a coulomb field is small, are ellipses modified
by a precession of the major axis in the plane of the motion.

have been expected that the number in a given shell would be n', since this is the
number of different orbits. Instead, it was quite clear that the number must be 2n*,

associated with the existence of an internal rotation of the electron about its axis, the
so-called electron spin which had been postulated by Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck to
account for certain features of the fine structure of spectral lines and the magnetic
properties of atoms. It was found necessary to assign to the electron spin quantized
