  2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    The scaling is uniform if and only if the scaling factors are equal (v x = v y = v z). If all except one of the scale factors are equal to 1, we have directional scaling. In the case where v x = v y = v z = k, scaling increases the area of any surface by a factor of k 2 and the volume of any solid object by a factor of k 3.

  3. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    If S is an n × n shear matrix, then: S has rank n and therefore is invertible; 1 is the only eigenvalue of S, so det S = 1 and tr S = n; the eigenspace of S (associated with the eigenvalue 1) has n1 dimensions. S is defective; S is asymmetric; S may be made into a block matrix by at most 1 column interchange and 1 row interchange operation

  4. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

    Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as razor blades and insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged.

  5. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    For common tape measurements, the tape used is a steel tape with coefficient of thermal expansion C equal to 0.000,011,6 units per unit length per degree Celsius change. This means that the tape changes length by 1.16 mm per 10 m tape per 10 °C change from the standard temperature of the tape.

  6. Transformation (function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(function)

    In mathematics, a transformation, transform, or self-map [1] is a function f, usually with some geometrical underpinning, that maps a set X to itself, i.e. f: X → X. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Examples include linear transformations of vector spaces and geometric transformations , which include projective transformations , affine transformations , and ...

    A 1.35 factor rate is a mid-range rate lenders charge to borrow money. Factor rates typically fall between 1.1 and 1.5. With a 1.35 factor rate, it will cost $35,000 to borrow $100,000 ($100,000 x ...

  8. Graph factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_factorization

    If k = 2n − 2, then G can be constructed by removing a perfect matching from K 2n. Again, G is 1-factorable. Chetwynd & Hilton (1985) show that if k ≥ 12n/7, then G is 1-factorable. The 1-factorization conjecture [3] is a long-standing conjecture that states that k ≈ n is sufficient. In precise terms, the conjecture is: If n is odd and k ...

  9. Why do you shrink when you get older? Experts explain

    Overall, you can lose between 1 to 3 inches in height as you age, per Medline Plus. While age-related height loss is normal, there are times when it's a sign of an underlying health condition.
