He knows the science of harmonic dread.
Many important properties invoked in science, like being a simple harmonic oscillator, being a gene, being an edge detector, or being a belief, are often thought to be functional properties.
The use of spherical harmonics in the molecular sciences is widespread.
We consider the time-harmonic inverse medium problem, which finds many applications in science and engineering (e.g. optical tomography, seismic imaging, and non-destructive testing).
The Duffing-harmonic oscillator is a common model for nonlinear phenomena in science and engineering.
Spherical harmonics are employed in a wide range of applications in computational science and physics, and many of them require the rotation of functions.
Mr. Frost, playing electric guitar, bass and a laptop computer, and Mr. Bjarnason, conducting from the piano, presided over their work, a somnambulant study in harmonic stasis and glacially changing textures, inspired by "Solaris," a novel by the Polish science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem.
He does, however, virtually quote a sentence from Archytas' book on harmonics in Book VII of the Republic (530d), and his discussions of the science of stereometry shortly before this are likely to have some connections to Archytas' work in solid geometry (528d).
This is justified by astrophysical arguments based essentially on the expansion of the universe, on the unpredictability of eventual extraterrestrial artificial transmissions, on the impetus of radioastronomal science and technology and on our disastrous earthly experience with sidelobes and harmonics.
The spherical harmonic coefficients of this series are determined once and then frequently used in different geo-sciences disciplines.
