17 Equations That Brought A Change!


Wave Equation: This equation describing the behavior of waves has been very useful in discovering how sound works, how earthquakes happen and the way oceans behave. Today it has helped oil companies in the setting off of explosives.

Fourier Transform: This formula describes patterns as a function of frequency in time. Discovered by Joseph Fourier, the equation has proved very important today in compressing information in JPEG format and the discovery of the structure of molecules. It has also proved essential in the analysis of signals. Complex patterns can be broken, cleaned up and analyzed with the use of this equation.

Novier Strokes: This method was developed by Leonhard Euler. It is mainly used in modeling the movement of fluids. It states that while the left side accelerates a small amount, the right indicates the forces acting on that amount of fluid. This equation has been very helpful in making vehicles more aerodynamic apart from leading to the development of modern passenger jets.

The Equations of Maxwell: Mapping out relationships between electric and magnetic fields, this equation, developed by Michael Faraday, has led to the creation of most of the technologies that we use today by aiding us in the understanding of electromagnetic waves.

Today it has proved very important in the discovery of modern communications like radar and television.
