  1. Overview of the Conformal Mapping Method

    The Conformal Mapping Method is used to solve boundary value problems of the 2D Laplace equation ($\nabla^2 u = 0$) in complex regions. By using an analytic function to map a complex region in the $z$-plane to a simpler standard region (such as a half-plane or a circle) in the $w$-plane, the problem can be solved in the simpler domain and then mapped back to the original region. This is possible because the 2D Laplace equation is invariant under conformal transformation.

  3. Overview of the 3-band Tight-Binding Model for TMDs

    For monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) like $\text{MoS}2$, $\text{WS}2$, and $\text{MoSe}2$, the valence band maximum (VBM) and conduction band minimum (CBM) are primarily composed of the transition metal's $d$ orbitals. A simplified 'three-band model' can be constructed using only three specific orbitals to describe the band-edge properties near the K and K' valleys: $d{z^2}$, $d{xy}$, and $d{x^2-y^2}$.

    Key characteristics of this tight-binding approach:

    1. Localization: Electrons are assumed to be localized around atoms, with wavefunctions formed by a linear combination of orthogonal atomic orbitals (LCAO).
    2. Hamiltonian: The Hamiltonian consists of on-site energy levels and hopping terms between nearest/next-nearest neighbors.
    3. Parameterization: Parameters are constrained by crystal symmetry and typically fitted to Density Functional Theory (DFT) energy bands.

  4. Overview of historical galaxy survey catalogs

    Before systematic modern surveys (pre-1970s), galaxies were primarily cataloged in these key lists:

    • Messier Objects: Compiled by Charles Messier in 1784; contains 110 objects (M1-M110).
    • NGC (New General Catalogue): Compiled by Dreyer in 1888 (expanded 1895, 1908) based on observations by William Herschel and others; contains 7,840 objects, mostly galaxies.

  5. Overview of Integral Transform Methods for PDEs

    Integral transforms map functions into another function space to convert differential operations into algebraic operations, simplifying the process of solving partial differential equations (PDEs).

    • Fourier Transform: Best suited for problems in unbounded spaces or those with periodic boundary conditions.
    • Laplace Transform: Best suited for initial value problems, particularly evolution equations involving a time variable.

  6. Define core concepts of galaxies and stars

    In the context of galactic astronomy:

    • Galaxy: A stable, self-gravitating system composed of a large number of stars that can exist in isolation. It is the basic unit of cosmic structure and the source of most significant astronomical phenomena.
    • Star: The primary component of a galaxy; historically, the understanding of galaxies has been derived primarily from the distribution of their stars.

  7. Apply Laplace Transform fundamental properties

    The Laplace Transform is a linear operator with the following key properties:

    • Linearity: $\mathcal{L}[af(t)+bg(t)] = aF(s) + bG(s)$
    • Differentiation: $\mathcal{L}[f'(t)] = sF(s) - f(0)$ and $\mathcal{L}[f''(t)] = s^2 F(s) - s f(0) - f'(0)$
    • Integration: $\mathcal{L}[\int_0^t f(\tau) d\tau] = \frac{F(s)}{s}$
    • Frequency Shifting: $\mathcal{L}[e^{at} f(t)] = F(s-a)$
    • Time Shifting: $\mathcal{L}[f(t-a) u(t-a)] = e^{-as} F(s)$ (where $u(t)$ is the unit step function, $a>0$)
    • Convolution: $\mathcal{L}[f(t) * g(t)] = F(s) G(s)$, where $(f*g)(t) = \int_0^t f(\tau) g(t-\tau) d\tau$
    • Initial Value Theorem: $f(0^+) = \lim_{s\to\infty} sF(s)$
    • Final Value Theorem: $\lim_{t\to\infty} f(t) = \lim_{s\to 0} sF(s)$ (if the limit exists)

  8. Understand Complex Term Series convergence

    A complex term series is an infinite sum of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} w_n$, where $w_n$ are complex numbers. Convergence is determined by the convergence of the real and imaginary parts as two separate real series.

    • Convergence: A series converges to $S$ if the partial sum $S_N = \sum_{n=1}^{N} w_n$ approaches $S$ as $N \to \infty$.
    • Necessary Condition: If a series converges, then $w_n \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$ (though this is not sufficient).
    • Absolute Convergence: A series is absolutely convergent if $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} |w_n|$ converges. Absolute convergence implies convergence and allows for the rearrangement of terms.
    • Conditional Convergence: A series that converges but is not absolutely convergent is conditionally convergent.

  9. Understand macroscopic systems and state parameters

    Thermodynamics is an empirical theory used to describe the macroscopic thermal properties of systems consisting of many microscopic particles (e.g., gases, liquids, solids).

    Key concepts include:

    • Macroscopic State: Described by a 'complete set' of parameters. The number of parameters in this set is fixed, and all other parameters can be expressed as functions of this set.
    • Equilibrium State: A state where parameters do not depend on time.
    • Isolated System: A system that exchanges nothing with its environment.
    • Thermally Isolated (Adiabatic) System: A system that exchanges no heat with its environment.
    • Extensive Parameters: Parameters proportional to the volume (V).
    • Intensive Parameters: Parameters independent of the volume (V).

  10. Understand the fundamental definition of electromagnetic radiation

    Radiation occurs when electric charges accelerate, allowing their electric fields to irreversibly transport energy to infinity. In the far-field (radiation zone), only the terms proportional to $1/r$ (the acceleration field) contribute to the radiation power because the Poynting vector $S hicksim E^2 hicksim 1/r^2$, and when integrated over a spherical area $4 ext{π}r^2$, it yields a finite value.

  11. Compare Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of fluid flow

    Fluid mechanics utilizes two primary frameworks to describe motion:

    1. Lagrangian Description: Tracks the trajectory of individual fluid elements (similar to particle mechanics). Each element is identified by its initial position $\boldsymbol{X}$, and its current position is given by $\boldsymbol{r}(\boldsymbol{X}, t)$.
    2. Eulerian Description: Observes fluid properties (velocity, density, pressure) at fixed points in space using field quantities: $\boldsymbol{v}(\boldsymbol{x}, t)$, $\rho(\boldsymbol{x}, t)$, and $p(\boldsymbol{x}, t)$.

  12. Understand the transition from Newtonian to Analytical Mechanics

    Newtonian mechanics requires considering both active and constraint forces, leading to $3n + k$ equations for $n$ particles and $k$ constraints. Analytical mechanics simplifies this by:

    1. Eliminating constraint forces using the principle of virtual work.
    2. Eliminating dependent coordinates by introducing generalized coordinates.
    3. Directly providing equations of motion for independent variables via Lagrange's equations.
