  2. Vector (mathematics and physics) - Wikipedia

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

    [9] [12] Bound vector quantities are formulated as a directed line segment, with a definite initial point besides the magnitude and direction of the main vector. [ 9 ] [ 11 ] For example, a force on the Euclidean plane has two Cartesian components in SI unit of newtons and an accompanying two-dimensional position vector in meters, for a total ...

    Also in 2016, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Live", a real-time online matching game where teams compete to answer all 12 questions correctly without an incorrect answer along the way. [15] In 2017, Quizlet created a premium offering called "Quizlet Go" (later renamed "Quizlet Plus"), with additional features available for paid subscribers.

  4. Direct product of groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_product_of_groups

    The resulting algebraic object satisfies the axioms for a group. Specifically: Associativity The binary operation on G × H is associative. Identity The direct product has an identity element, namely (1 G, 1 H), where 1 G is the identity element of G and 1 H is the identity element of H.

  5. Vector algebra relations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_algebra_relations

    The following are important identities in vector algebra.Identities that only involve the magnitude of a vector ‖ ‖ and the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors A·B, apply to vectors in any dimension, while identities that use the cross product (vector product) A×B only apply in three dimensions, since the cross product is only defined there.

  6. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    For example, the solution set for the above equation is a line, since a point in the solution set can be chosen by specifying the value of the parameter z. An infinite solution of higher order may describe a plane, or higher-dimensional set. Different choices for the free variables may lead to different descriptions of the same solution set.

  7. Covariance and contravariance of vectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contra...

    Likewise, vectors whose components are contravariant push forward under smooth mappings, so the operation assigning the space of (contravariant) vectors to a smooth manifold is a covariant functor. Secondly, in the classical approach to differential geometry, it is not bases of the tangent bundle that are the most primitive object, but rather ...

  8. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

    So, the set E is the union of the zero vector with the set of all eigenvectors of A associated with λ, and E equals the nullspace of (A − λI). E is called the eigenspace or characteristic space of A associated with λ. [27] [9] In general λ is a complex number and the eigenvectors are complex n by 1 matrices.

  9. Vector calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus

    Vector calculus or vector analysis is a branch of mathematics concerned with the differentiation and integration of vector fields, primarily in three-dimensional Euclidean space, . [1] The term vector calculus is sometimes used as a synonym for the broader subject of multivariable calculus, which spans vector calculus as well as partial differentiation and multiple integration.
