Space

The region in which a particular type of force can be observed; depending on the force, one can thus speak of a gravity field, magnetic field, electric field (or when the two are linked by fast oscillations, electromagnetic field) and nuclear field. The laws of physics suggest that fields represent more than a possibility of force being observed, but that they can also transmit energy and momentum, e.g. a light wave is a phenomenon completely defined by fields. For that reason a field is often viewed as a space which was modified by the sources of the force which the field represents. (references)

Specialty Definition: Electric field

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In physics, an electric field is the effect produced by the existence of an electric charge, such as an electron, ion, or proton, in the volume of space or medium that surrounds it.

The mathematical definition of the electric field is developed as follows. Coulomb's Law gives the force between two point charges as

This was known empirically (note - the equation is given for SI units). Suppose we take one of the charges to be fixed, and the other one to be a moveable "test charge". We note that according to this equation, the force on the test object is proportional to its charge. We define the electric field to be the proportionality constant between charge and force:

Hence, electric field is dependent on position. A field, in this context, means a vector which is dependent on another vector - a vector valued vector function.

Another empirically known fact was that in the presence of a more complicated fixed object, the electric forces from the constituent charges can simply be added together. Hence, the electric field due to a composite object becomes

where E1, E2, etc. are the electric fields due to individual charges making up the object. This is what is meant when it is said that the electric field is "linear". For a continuous distribution of charge (rather than discrete points), we can define the electric field to be:

where ρ is the charge density - i.e. charge per unit volume.

See Maxwell's equations for the full set of equations governing electric fields.

Field (mathematics)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In abstract algebra, a field is an algebraic structure in which the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (except division by zero) may be performed and the associative, commutative, and distributive rules hold, which are familiar from the arithmetic of ordinary numbers.

Fields are important objects of study in algebra since they provide the proper generalization of number domains, such as the sets of rational numbers, real numbers, or complex numbers. Fields used to be called rational domains.

The concept of a field is of use, for example, in defining vectorss and matrices, two structures in linear algebra whose components can be elements of an arbitrary field. Galois theory studies the symmetry of equations by investigating the ways in which fields can be contained in each other. See Field theory (mathematics) for more.

Definition

A field is a commutative ring (F, +, *) such that 0 does not equal 1 and all elements of F except 0 have a multiplicative inverse.

Spelled out, this means that the following hold:

; Closure of F under + and * : For all a,b belonging to F, both a + b and a * b belong to F (or more formally, + and * are binary operations on F);

; Both + and * are associative : For all a,b,c in F, a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c and a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c.

; Both + and * are commutative : For all a,b belonging to F, a + b = b + a and a * b = b * a.

; The operation * is distributive over the operation + : For all a,b,c, belonging to F, a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c).

; Existence of an additive identity : There exists an element 0 in F, such that for all a belonging to F, a + 0 = a.

; Existence of a multiplicative identity : There exists an element 1 in F different from 0, such that for all a belonging to F, a * 1 = a.

; Existence of additive inverses : For every a belonging to F, there exists an element -a in F, such that a + (-a) = 0.

; Existence of multiplicative inverses : For every a ≠ 0 belonging to F, there exists an element a-1 in F, such that a * a-1 = 1.

The requirement 0 ≠ 1 ensures that the set which only contains a single zero is not a field. Directly from the axioms, one may show that (F, +) and (F - {0}, *) are commutative groups and that therefore (see elementary group theory) the additive inverse -a and the multiplicative inverse a-1 are uniquely determined by a. Furthermore, the multiplicative inverse of a product is equal to the product of the inverses:

(a*b)-1 = a-1 * b-1
provided both a and b are non-zero. Other useful rules include
-a = (-1) * a
and more generally
-(a * b) = (-a) * b = a * (-b)
as well as
a * 0 = 0,
all rules familiar from elementary arithmetic.

Examples of Fields

     +  0  1        *  0  1
     0  0  1        0  0  0
     1  1  0        1  0  1

It has important uses in computer science, especially in cryptography and coding theory.

Some first theorems

Constructing new fields from given ones

  1. If a subset E of a field (F,+,*) together with the operations *,+ restricted to E is itself a field, then it is called a subfield of F. Such a subfield has the same 0 and 1 as F.
  2. The polynomial field F(x) is the field of fractions of polynomials in x with coefficients in F.
  3. An algebraic extension of a field F is the smallest field containing F and a root of an irreducible polynomial p(x) in F[x]. Alternatively, it is identical to the factor ring F[x]/<p(x)>, where <p(x)> is the ideal generated by p(x).

Lacrosse

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Lacrosse is a summer team sport of Native American origin played with netted sticks.

The game is popular in Canada (chiefly in British Columbia and southern Ontario) and in New England and other areas in the northeast United States. The colleges, high schools and "pee wee" leagues in the United States support many teams. Princeton, Syracuse, and Johns Hopkins have dominated in the Division I collegiate ranks, while the American teams have won recent World Championships for both men and women. The Iroquois nation is also allowed to enter a team in the World Championships.

The game is also played in Australia, and in England. In 1994 lacrosse became the official national summer sport of Canada.

The Game

Outdoor men's lacrosse involves two teams of 10 players each competing by projecting a small solid rubber ball into the opposing team's goal. The field of play is approximately 110 yards (100 m) long and 40 yards (37 m) wide. The goals are 6 feet (1.8 m) by 6 feet and contain a mesh netting similar to an ice hockey goal.

Diagram of a men's lacrosse field. Larger Version

Players line up based on 3 offensive players called "attackmen", 3 "midfielders", 3 "defensemen", and 1 goaltender. Each player carries a stick (the French settlers on seeing the Native Americans using the stick called it la crossier (crozier) hence the name "Lacrosse") of varying length from 40 inches (1.0 m) to 72 inches (1.8 m). The sticks have a metal shaft and a plastic head with a string and leather basket called the "pocket".

Players scoop the ball off the ground and hurl the ball in the air to other players. Players are allowed to run carrying the ball. There are a number of complicating rules for positioning and offsides of players, but, in general, to the uninitiated, think a combination of soccer and hockey. Games consist of 4 fifteen minute periods. The scores of games typically consist of a total of twenty or so goals being scored.

Canadians most commonly play box lacrosse, an indoor version of the game played by teams of six players on ice hockey rinks from which the ice has been removed; the enclosed playing area is called the box, in contrast to the open playing field of the traditional game. This version of the game was introduced in the 1930s to promote business for hockey arenas, and within a few years had almost entirely supplanted field lacrosse in Canada.

In box lacrosse the goal is smaller (4' X 4') than in outdoor lacrosse (and the goaltender usually bigger). The attacking team must take a shot on goal within 30 seconds of gaining possession of the ball, and play is rougher than in the field game (see below).

A national senior men's lacrosse championship (the Mann Cup) has been awarded in Canada since 1901. It has been played under box lacrosse rules since 1935. A junior men's championship (the Minto Cup) has been awarded since 1937 (the Minto Cup was also awarded to a senior men's champion from 1901 to 1934). Since 1908 all national senior and junior men's champions have come from either Ontario or British Columbia. The Canadian Lacrosse Association also holds tournaments to determine national junior and senior women's box lacrosse champions and junior and senior men's and women's field lacrosse champions.

Indoor lacrosse is a less violent version of box lacrosse played professionally during the winter not only in regions where summer lacrosse is popular but also in regions where lacrosse is rarely played in summer. Players may use only sticks with hollow metal shafts (box lacrosse permits solid wooden sticks) and may not crosscheck (crosschecking – hitting another player with the stick with one's hands apart on the shaft – is legal, within limits, in box lacrosse). These two differences encourage a running rather than a passing game. The inaugural World Indoor Lacrosse Championships, won by Canada, were held in 2003.

Vector field

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A vector field associates a vector to every point in space; the vectors may change from point to point. Vector fields are often used in physics, for instance to indicate the speed and direction of a moving fluid throughout space, or the strength and direction of some force, such as the magnetic or gravitational force, as it changes from point to point.

In the rigorous mathematical treatment, vector fields are defined on manifolds: a vector field is a section of the manifold's tangent bundle. While the underlying manifold is often the 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional Euclidean space (in which case the tangent space is equal to the same Euclidean space), other manifolds are also useful: describing the wind distribution on the surface of the Earth for instance requires a vector field on the sphere, a 2-dimensional manifold; the spacetime of relativity is a 4-dimensional manifold; and phase spaces of complicated physical systems are often modeled as high dimensional manifolds with a vector field indicating how the system changes over time.

Vector fields should be compared to scalar fields, which associate a number or scalar to every point in space (or every point of some manifold).

The gradient of a scalar field is a vector field. The derivatives of a vector field using a scalar product or a cross product, resulting in a scalar field or another vector field, are called the divergence and curl respectively.
