• Angular momentum (quantum) [r]: A vector operator of which the three components have well-defined commutation relations. ^[e]
• Curl [r]: A vector operator that describes the rotation of a vector field. ^[e]
• Diagonal matrix [r]: A square matrix which has zero entries off the main diagonal. ^[e]
• Dirac delta function [r]: Sharply peaked function, generalization of the Kronecker delta; a distribution that maps a regular function onto a single function value. ^[e]
• Divergence [r]: A first order differential vector operator acting on a vector field resulting in a scalar function. ^[e]

• Green's function [r]: Auxiliary function in the theory of linear differential equations; integral operator with Green function as kernel is the inverse of a linear differential operator. ^[e]
• Hydrogen-like atom [r]: An atom, excluding hydrogen itself, with only one electron, having charge +(Z-1), where Z = atomic number. ^[e]
• Identity matrix [r]: A square matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeroes elsewhere: the identity element for matrix multiplication. ^[e]
• Intermolecular forces [r]: Non-covalent forces between atoms and molecules; often synonymous with Van der Waals forces. ^[e]
• Jacobian [r]: Determinant of the matrix whose ith row lists all the first-order partial derivatives of the function ƒi(x1, x2, …, xn). ^[e]
