{\bf A consistent nomenclature for the multipole expansion?}\\\\
|
||||
You all know the terms {\bf monopole}, {\bf dipole} and {\bf quadrupole},
|
||||
and perhaps also the less frequently used {\bf octupole}, {\bf hexadecapole} [16],
|
||||
{\bf triacontadipole} (or {\bf dotriacontapole}) [32] and {\bf tetrahexacontapole}
|
||||
(or {\bf hexacontatetrapole}) [64].
|
||||
Physicists are clearly insufficiently educated in the humanities:
|
||||
these terms sound very fancy and their choice seems to make sense, but it doesn't.
|
||||
{\bf Mono-} is derived from the Greek
|
||||
{\it monos} ('alone'); {\bf di-} is derived from the Greek {\it dis} ('twice');
|
||||
{\bf quadru-} is a fake Latin prefix ({\it quadri-} would be genuine)
