Gaussian integer — In number theory, a Gaussian integer is a complex number whose real and imaginary part are both integers. The Gaussian integers, with ordinary addition and multiplication of complex numbers, form an integral domain, usually written as Z[i]. The… … Wikipedia

Gaussian beam — In optics, a Gaussian beam is a beam of electromagnetic radiation whose transverse electric field and intensity (irradiance) distributions are well approximated by Gaussian functions. Many lasers emit beams that approximate a Gaussian profile, in … Wikipedia
Gaussian surface — A Gaussian surface is a closed two dimensional surface through which a flux or electric field is to be calculated. The surface is used in conjunction with Gauss s law (a consequence of the divergence theorem), allowing one to calculate the total… … Wikipedia
Gaussian year — A Gaussian year is defined as 365.2568983 days. It was adopted by Carl Friedrich Gauss as the length of the sidereal year in his studies of the dynamics of the solar system.A slightly different value is now accepted as the length of the sidereal… … Wikipedia
Gaussian gravitational constant — Carl Friedrich Gauss expressed the gravitational constant in units of the solar system rather than SI units. The benefit is that the motion of the planets can be accurately described, without exact knowledge of the scale of the solar system or… … Wikipedia

Gal (unit) — Not to be confused with gallon. Gravity anomalies covering the Southern Ocean are shown here in false color relief. Amplitudes range between 30 mGal (magenta) to +30 mGal (red). This image has been normalized to remove variation due to… … Wikipedia
Gauss (unit) — The gauss, abbreviated as G, is the cgs unit of measurement of a magnetic field B (which is also known as the magnetic flux density , or the magnetic induction ), named after the German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss. One gauss… … Wikipedia
Maxwell (unit) — The maxwell, abbreviated as Mx, is the compound derived CGS unit of magnetic flux. The unit was previously called a line. The unit name honours James Clerk Maxwell, who presented the unified theory of electromagnetism, and was established by the… … Wikipedia
