  2. Linear combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_combination

    Consider the vectors (polynomials) p 1 := 1, p 2 := x + 1, and p 3 := x 2 + x + 1. Is the polynomial x 21 a linear combination of p 1, p 2, and p 3? To find out, consider an arbitrary linear combination of these vectors and try to see when it equals the desired vector x 21. Picking arbitrary coefficients a 1, a 2, and a 3, we want

  3. Resultant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resultant

    Given two homogeneous polynomials P(x, y) and Q(x, y) of respective total degrees p and q, their homogeneous resultant is the determinant of the matrix over the monomial basis of the linear map (,) +, where A runs over the bivariate homogeneous polynomials of degree q − 1, and B runs over the homogeneous polynomials of degree p − 1. In ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_combination

    A conical combination is a linear combination with nonnegative coefficients. When a point is to be used as the reference origin for defining displacement vectors, then is a convex combination of points ,, …, if and only if the zero displacement is a non-trivial conical combination of their respective displacement vectors relative to .

  5. Triple product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product

    In geometry and algebra, the triple product is a product of three 3-dimensional vectors, usually Euclidean vectors.The name "triple product" is used for two different products, the scalar-valued scalar triple product and, less often, the vector-valued vector triple product.

  6. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    This has the convenient implication for 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 rotation matrices that the trace reveals the angle of rotation, θ, in the two-dimensional space (or subspace). For a 2 × 2 matrix the trace is 2 cos θ, and for a 3 × 3 matrix it is 1 + 2 cos θ. In the three-dimensional case, the subspace consists of all vectors perpendicular to the ...

  7. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

    The transformation matrix A = [] preserves the direction of purple vectors parallel to v λ=1 = [11] T and blue vectors parallel to v λ=3 = [1 1] T. The red vectors are not parallel to either eigenvector, so, their directions are changed by the transformation.

    where {e 1 ∧ e 2, e 3 ∧ e 1, e 2 ∧ e 3} is the basis for the three-dimensional space ⋀ 2 (R 3). The coefficients above are the same as those in the usual definition of the cross product of vectors in three dimensions, the only difference being that the exterior product is not an ordinary vector, but instead is a bivector. Bringing in a ...

  9. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The coordinates of points in a plane are two-dimensional vectors in R 2 (two dimensional space). Rigid transformations are those that preserve the distance between any two points. The set of rigid transformations in an n-dimensional space is called the special Euclidean group on R n, and denoted SE.
