Harmonic analysis | Mathematical terminology

Harmonic (mathematics)

In mathematics, a number of concepts employ the word harmonic. The similarity of this terminology to that of music is not accidental: the equations of motion of vibrating strings, drums and columns of air are given by formulas involving Laplacians; the solutions to which are given by eigenvalues corresponding to their modes of vibration. Thus, the term "harmonic" is applied when one is considering functions with sinusoidal variations, or solutions of Laplace's equation and related concepts. (Wikipedia).

Harmonic Functions

If the Laplacian of a function is zero everywhere, it is called Harmonic. Harmonic functions arise all the time in physics, capturing a certain notion of "stability", whenever one point in space is influenced by its neighbors.

Apollonius and harmonic conjugates | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 2 | NJ Wildberger

Apollonius introduced the important idea of harmonic conjugates, concerning four points on a line. He showed that the pole polar duality associated with a circle produces a family of such harmonic ranges, one for every line through the pole of a line. Harmonic ranges also occur in the cont
