→First tangible use of quantum mechanics in superconductivity: Neither the article cited here, nor the original paper say anything about "syncing" of electron spins, and this also is not really what entanglement means, and entanglement between the electons in these sites is not even what is being proposed in the original paper, nor the one that is cited here. The proposed mechanism is of tunneling between SQWs. Entanglement isn't referred to at all..Tag: Visual edit: Switched

Specular reflection
→Vector formulation: Added a citation by a recent NVIDIA publication showing the more common convention with incident ray going towards the reflections point. Also put the "Practical Linear Algebra" citation at the part that uses it.

m
Specular reflection
→Vector formulation: The notation used in “ Mathematical and Computer Programming Techniques for Computer Graphics” is unusual and specific to that source. It takes all rays as pointing away from the reflection point, where normal convention is that the incident ray points towards the reflection point. This is the source of the sign inconsistency with the part that immediately follows about Householder transformation.

m
Poynting vector
Changed the equation for magnetic flux density to have the same form as the displacement field. The microscopic fields on the right, and the macroscopic fields on the left. This improves clarity and emphasizes that H is the microscopic field. This also makes more sense in terms of susceptibility; the more magnetically susceptible a material is, the more B field you will have for the same H field because there is greater magnetization.

Lorentz transformation
This is the form that I originally recommended to Dvdm on his talk page before this form was originally added. It highlights what stays the same and what changes, making it easy to remember and understand (I posit).Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Increased the spacing to make it clear that these are two separate, but related statements. This also makes it consistent with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics)#Arrow_notation

Lie algebra
Every textbook I have seen on quantum mechanics (I think the primary application area of Lie algebras) refers to the Lie bracket as the commutator. Also this is listed as an alternate name for it on the page "Lie brackets on vector fields". See also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator#Lie-algebra_identities

Entropy (information theory)
The wording of the first sentence is a little obtuse (although accurate), so to help clarify the meaning, I added the mathematical expression. I think that this will be quite useful to those new to the subject, where the verbiage is unnecessarily confusing. I however think that instead of changing the sentence (because it is accurate), it would be best to express it in simple form (which is used again later in the article anyway) to make the definition clear while still concise..
