Fermat point In geometry, the Fermat point, also called Torricelli point, and first isogonic center, is the solution to the problem of finding a point F inside a triangle ABC such that the total distance from the three vertices to point F is the minimum possible. It is so named because this problem is first raised by Fermat in a private letter.
Fermat's principle In optics, Fermat's principle or the principle of least time is the idea that the path taken between two points by a ray of light is the path that can be traversed in the least time. This principle is sometimes taken as the definition of a ray of light.
Fermat's theorem (stationary points) Fermat's theorem is a theorem in real analysis, named after Pierre de Fermat. It gives a method to find local maxima and minima of differentiable functions by showing that every local extremum of the function is a stationary point (the function derivative is zero in that point).
Fermata A fermata (or hold or pause) is an element of musical notation indicating that the note should be sustained for longer than its note value would indicate. Exactly how much longer it is held is up to the discretion of the performer, but twice as long is not unusual.
Fermín Chávez Fermín Chávez (13 July 1924 – 28 May 2006) was an Argentine historian, poet and journalist, born in El Pueblito, a small town near Nogoyá, province of Entre Ríos.

Ferme générale The Ferme générale was, in ancien régime France, essentially a franchised customs and excise operation which collected duties on behalf of the king, under 6-year contracts. The major tax collectors in that system were known as the fermiers généraux (farmers-general in English).
Ferme ornée The term ferme ornée as used in English garden history derives from Stephen Switzer's term for 'ornamented farm'. It describes a country estate laid out partly according to aesthetic principles and partly for farming.
Fermentation (biochemistry) Fermentation is a process of energy production in a cell in an anaerobic environment (with no oxygen present). In common usage fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration, however a more strict definition exists which defines fermentation as respiration in an anaerobic environment with no external electron acceptor.
Fermentation (food) Fermentation typically refers to the conversion of sugar to alcohol using yeast under anaerobic conditions. A more general definition of fermentation is the chemical conversion of carbohydrates into alcohols or acids.
Fermentation lock The fermentation lock or airlock is a device used in beer brewing and wine making that allows carbon dioxide released by the beer to escape the fermenter, while not allowing air to enter the fermenter, thus avoiding possible bacterial contamination.
Fermentation theory The fermentation theory of disease is the (now obsolete) concept that many diseases, including the diseases which were "epidemic, endemic and contagious," owe their origin to the presence of a "morbific principle" in the system, acting in a manner analogous to, although not identical with, the process of fermentation.

Fermi acceleration Fermi acceleration, also called diffusive shock acceleration, is the acceleration that charged particles undergo when reflected by a magnetic mirror. This is one of the primary means by which particles are heated in shock waves.
Fermi energy In physics and Fermi-Dirac statistics, the Fermi energy (EF) of a system of non-interacting fermions is the smallest possible increase in the ground state energy when exactly one particle is added to the system. It is equivalent to the chemical potential of the system in its ground state at absolute zero.
Fermi hole The Pauli exclusion principle is the "rule" that no more than two electrons can be in the same orbital. The "rule" traces to a deep algebraic property of nature that has nothing whatsoever to do with the charge on electrons.
Fermi liquid A Fermi liquid is a generic term for a quantum mechanical liquid of fermions that arises under certain physical conditions when the temperature is sufficiently low. The interaction between the particles of the many-body system does not need to be small (see e.
Fermi problem In physics, particularly in physics education, a Fermi problem, Fermi question, or Fermi estimate is an estimation problem designed to teach dimensional analysis, approximation, and the importance of clearly identifying one's assumptions. Named for 20th century physicist Enrico Fermi, such problems typically involve making justified guesses about quantities that seem impossible to compute given limited available information.
Fermi resonance A Fermi resonance is a splitting of lines in an infrared spectrum or Raman spectroscopy the theory of which is one of the many contributions of the Italian / American physicist Enrico Fermi. It occurs when two vibrational states of a molecule have different modes of movement but almost the same energy.
Fermi surface In condensed matter physics, the Fermi surface is an abstract boundary useful for predicting the thermal, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of metals, semimetals, and doped semiconductors. The shape of the Fermi surface is derived from the periodicity and symmetry of the crystalline lattice and from the occupation of electronic energy bands.
Fermi surface of superconducting cuprates The electronic structure of superconducting cuprates, also called high temperature superconductors (HTSC), is highly anisotropic. First, the cuprates are almost two-dimensional (2D): the conducting electrons are manly localized in the CuO2 layers, the common building blocks of all HTSC compounds (e.
Fermi's golden rule In quantum physics, Fermi's golden rule is a way to calculate the transition rate (probability of transition per unit time) from one energy eigenstate of a quantum system into a continuum of energy eigenstates, due to a perturbation.
Fermi-Walker transport Fermi-Walker transport is a process in general relativity used to define a coordinate system or reference frame such that all curvature in the frame is due to the presence of mass/energy density and not to arbitrary spin or rotation of the frame.
Fermi–Dirac statistics In statistical mechanics, Fermi-Dirac statistics is a particular case of particle statistics developed by Enrico Fermi and Paul Dirac that determines the statistical distribution of fermions over the energy states for a system in thermal equilibrium. In other words, it is a probability of a given energy level to be occupied by a fermion.
Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem In physics, the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem or FPU problem was the apparent paradox in chaos theory that many complicated enough physical systems exhibited almost exactly periodic behavior instead of ergodic behavior. One of the resolutions of the paradox includes the insight that many non-linear equations are exactly integrable.
