FAQ About Pierre-Simon Laplace
What is the Laplacian operator?
The Laplacian operator is a differential operator used in mathematics and physics, named after Pierre-Simon Laplace. It is denoted as ∆ or ∇² and is a measure of the rate at which a quantity spreads out from a point. Commonly applied in vector calculus, the Laplacian is essential in electromagnetism and fluid dynamics.
