The term appassionato (from Italian) tells the performer to play (or sing) passionately.In Italian, arpeggio literally means like a harp. It is used to indicate that the consecutive notes of a certain chord are to be played quickly one after another, instead of at the same moment.
In piano music this is sometimes a solution used to play a wide-ranged chord which, technically speaking, cannot be played simultaneously with one hand. Music played on the limited hardware of video game computers uses a similar technique to create a chord from one tone generator.
Augmentation is the prolongation of notes in a melody or part of a melody. It is often used in counterpoint, to the effect that several (for instance bass- and soprano) melodies are woven together, or that the augmentation makes room for another melody to temporarily raise to the surface. The music of Johann Sebastian Bach is an excellent aid to study this application.
Common time is the time signature 4/4: four beats per measure, each beat a quarter note.
4/4 is often written on the musical staff as C. The symbol is not a "C" as an abbreviation for "common time", but a broken circle: the full circle
Cut time is synonymous to the meter 2/2: two half-note beats per measure. This is notated and played like common time (4/4), except with the note lengths halved. Cut time is denoted by 3/4 a circle with a vertical line through it, which resembles the cent symbol ¢. This comes from a literal "cut" of the C symbol of common time. Thus, a quarter note in cut time is only half a beat long. A measure has only two beats. The other common meter with two-beat measures is fast 6/8, in which note lengths are 2/3 their normal values.
'\Dolce' is Italian for sweet, and tells the performer to sing (or play) sweetly.
Glissando is a continuous sliding from one pitch to another (a "true" glissando), or an incidental scale played while moving from one melodic note to another (an "effective" glissando). See glissando for further information.
Inverse refers to the contrapuntal device whereby an imitative voice moves in the opposition direction as would the original, so that where the original moves up the inverse would move down ("mirrored").
A mezzo-soprano is a female singer with a range usually extending from the A below middle C to the F an eleventh above middle C. Mezzo-sopranos generally have a daker vocal tone than sopranos, and their vocal range is between that of a soprano and that of an alto. See mezzo-soprano for further information.
A partial is a non-integer multiple of a fundamental frequency, as opposed to harmonics, which are integer multiples of the fundamental. An overtone is either a partial or a harmonic, and partial thus refers to the inharmonic overtones.
Retrograde refers to the contrapuntal device whereby an imitative voice plays backwards in relation to the original. Retrograde-inverse is where the imitative voice is both backwards and upside down.
Tremolo can mean a rapid repetition of the same note, or an alternation between two or more notes. It can also mean a rapid and repetitive variation in pitch for the duration of a note. See tremolo for further information.

A partial charge is a charge on a particle of less than one. For example, the charge on an up quark is +1/3 and the charge on the corresponding down quark is -2/3.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Partial charge."
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In mathematics, and in particular calculus, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation involving partial derivatives of an unknown function.They usually have many solutions; one often considers additional boundary conditions which restrict the solution set. Where ordinary differential equations have solutions that are families with each solution characterized by the values of some parameters, for a PDE it is more helpful to think that the parameters are function data (informally put, this means that the set of solutions is much larger). That is true fairly generally, unless the equations are heavily over-determined.
Partial differential equations are ubiquitous in science, as they describe phenonena such as fluid flow, gravitational fields, and electromagnetic fields. They are important in fields such as aircraft simulation, computer graphics, and weather prediction. The central equations of general relativity and quantum mechanics are also partial differential equations.
Notation and examples
In PDEs, it is common to write the unknown function as u and its partial derivative with respect to the variable x as ux, i.e.
Laplace's equation
A very important and basic PDE is Laplace's equation:-
for the unknown function u(x,y,z). Solutions to this equation, known as harmonic functions, serve as the potentials of vector field in physics, such as the gravitational or electrostatic fields.
A generalization of Laplace's equation is Poisson's equation:-
where f(x,y,z) is a given function. The solutions to this equation describe potentials of gravitational and electrostatic fields in the presence of masses or electrical charges, respectively.
Wave equation
The wave equation is an equation for an unknown function u(x,y,z,t) (where we think of t as a time variable) which reads:-
Its solutions describe waves such as sound or light waves; c is a number which represents the speed of the wave. In lower dimensions, this equation describes the vibration of a string or drum. Solutions will typically be combinations of oscillating sine waves.
Heat equation
The heat equation describes the temperature in a given region over time. It is:-
Solutions will typically "even out" over time. The number k describes the thermal conductivity of the material.
The Schrödinger equation is a PDE at the heart of quantum mechanics.
All the above equations are linear in the sense that they can be written in the form Au = f for a given linear operator A and a given function f. Important non-linear equations include the Navier-Stokes equations describing the flow of fluids and Einstein's field equations of general relativity.
Methods to solve PDEs
There are no generally applicable methods to solve PDEs; indeed, many PDEs cannot be solved analytically at all. Nevertheless, some techniques can be used for several types of equations. An alternative are numerical analysis techniques from simple finite difference schemes to the more mature multigrid and finite element methods. Many interesting problems in science and engineering are solved in this way using high performance supercomputers.
