- 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]
- Electron orbital [r]: Quantum mechanical quadratically integrable one-electron function (function of the coordinates of one electron) [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]

- Melbourne [r]: "Capital city of the state of Victoria, Australia." [e]
- Multipole expansion of electric field [r]: an expansion in terms of powers of 1/R of an electric potential outside a charge distribution; R is the distance of a point outside to a point inside the charge distribution. [e]
- Polar coordinates [r]: Two numbers—a distance and an angle—that specify the position of a point on a plane. [e]
