    Mathematically vectors are elements of a vector space over a field, and for use in physics is usually defined with = or .Concretely, if the dimension = of is finite, then, after making a choice of basis, we can view such vector spaces as or .

  4. Index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_notation

    A vector treated as an array of numbers by writing as a row vector or column vector (whichever is used depends on convenience or context): = (), = Index notation allows indication of the elements of the array by simply writing a i, where the index i is known to run from 1 to n, because of n-dimensions.

  5. Grassmann number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassmann_number

    In general, a Grassmann algebra on n generators can be represented by 2 n × 2 n square matrices. Physically, these matrices can be thought of as raising operators acting on a Hilbert space of n identical fermions in the occupation number basis. Since the occupation number for each fermion is 0 or 1, there are 2 n possible basis states ...

  6. Winding number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winding_number

    In mathematics, the winding number or winding index of a closed curve in the plane around a given point is an integer representing the total number of times that the curve travels counterclockwise around the point, i.e., the curve's number of turns. For certain open plane curves, the number of turns may be a non-integer.

    The form comes with two worksheets, one to calculate exemptions, and another to calculate the effects of other income (second job, spouse's job). The bottom number in each worksheet is used to fill out two if the lines in the main W4 form. The main form is filed with the employer, and the worksheets are discarded or held by the employee.

  9. Atiyah–Singer index theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atiyah–Singer_index_theorem

    This version is called the L 2 index theorem, and was used by Atiyah & Schmid (1977) to rederive properties of the discrete series representations of semisimple Lie groups. The Callias index theorem is an index theorem for a Dirac operator on a noncompact odd-dimensional space. The Atiyah–Singer index is only defined on compact spaces, and ...
