  2. Hesse normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesse_normal_form

    Distance from the origin O to the line E calculated with the Hesse normal form. Normal vector in red, line in green, point O shown in blue. In analytic geometry, the Hesse normal form (named after Otto Hesse) is an equation used to describe a line in the Euclidean plane, a plane in Euclidean space, or a hyperplane in higher dimensions.

  3. Transport theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_theorem

    The transport theorem (or transport equation, rate of change transport theorem or basic kinematic equation or Bour's formula, named after: Edmond Bour) is a vector equation that relates the time derivative of a Euclidean vector as evaluated in a non-rotating coordinate system to its time derivative in a rotating reference frame.

  4. Initial value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_problem

    An initial value problem is a differential equation ′ = (, ()) with : where is an open set of , together with a point in the domain of (,),called the initial condition.. A solution to an initial value problem is a function that is a solution to the differential equation and satisfies

  5. Vectorization (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectorization_(mathematics)

    For example, for the 2×2 matrix = [], the half-vectorization is ⁡ = []. There exist unique matrices transforming the half-vectorization of a matrix to its vectorization and vice versa called, respectively, the duplication matrix and the elimination matrix .

  6. Canonical form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_form

    The equation of a line: Ax + By = C, with A 2 + B 2 = 1 and C ≥ 0; The equation of a circle: () + = By contrast, there are alternative forms for writing equations. For example, the equation of a line may be written as a linear equation in point-slope and slope-intercept form.

  7. Vector (mathematics and physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and...

    A free vector is a vector quantity having an undefined support or region of application; it can be freely translated with no consequences; a displacement vector is a prototypical example of free vector. Aside from the notion of units and support, physical vector quantities may also differ from Euclidean vectors in terms of metric.

  8. Eigendecomposition of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigendecomposition_of_a_matrix

    We call p(λ) the characteristic polynomial, and the equation, called the characteristic equation, is an N th-order polynomial equation in the unknown λ. This equation will have N λ distinct solutions, where 1 ≤ N λ ≤ N. The set of solutions, that is, the eigenvalues, is called the spectrum of A. [1] [2] [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula

    MediaWiki stores rendered formulas in a cache so that the images of those formulas do not need to be created each time the page is opened by a user. To force the rerendering of all formulas of a page, you must open it with the getter variables action=purge&mathpurge=true. Imagine for example there is a wrong rendered formula in the article ...
