  2. Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_(linear_algebra)

    As X is nonempty, and every totally ordered subset of (X, ⊆) has an upper bound in X, Zorn's lemma asserts that X has a maximal element. In other words, there exists some element L max of X satisfying the condition that whenever L max ⊆ L for some element L of X, then L = L max. It remains to prove that L max is a basis of V.

  3. Change of basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_basis

    This change can be computed by substituting the "old" coordinates for their expressions in terms of the "new" coordinates. More precisely, if f(x) is the expression of the function in terms of the old coordinates, and if x = Ay is the change-of-base formula, then f(Ay) is the expression of the same function in terms of the new coordinates.

  4. Matrix similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_similarity

    When defining a linear transformation, it can be the case that a change of basis can result in a simpler form of the same transformation. For example, the matrix representing a rotation in R 3 when the axis of rotation is not aligned with the coordinate axis can be complicated to compute.

  5. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    Moreover, as the derivative of f(x) evaluates to ln(b) b x by the properties of the exponential function, the chain rule implies that the derivative of log b x is given by [35] [37] ⁡ = ⁡. That is, the slope of the tangent touching the graph of the base- b logarithm at the point ( x , log b ( x )) equals 1/( x ln( b )) .

  6. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

    The matrix Q is the change of basis matrix of the similarity transformation. Essentially, the matrices A and Λ represent the same linear transformation expressed in two different bases. The eigenvectors are used as the basis when representing the linear transformation as Λ. Conversely, suppose a matrix A is diagonalizable.

    Methods to calculate cost basis. The cost basis for stocks and mutual funds is generally the price you paid when you purchased the asset, plus any other trading costs. However, there are several ...

  8. Lagrange polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_polynomial

    But, as can be seen from the construction, each time a node x k changes, all Lagrange basis polynomials have to be recalculated. A better form of the interpolation polynomial for practical (or computational) purposes is the barycentric form of the Lagrange interpolation (see below) or Newton polynomials .

  9. Basis function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_function

    The monomial basis also forms a basis for the vector space of polynomials. After all, every polynomial can be written as a 0 + a 1 x 1 + a 2 x 2 + ⋯ + a n x n {\displaystyle a_{0}+a_{1}x^{1}+a_{2}x^{2}+\cdots +a_{n}x^{n}} for some n ∈ N {\displaystyle n\in \mathbb {N} } , which is a linear combination of monomials.
