  2. Change of basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_basis

    A change of basis consists of converting every assertion expressed in terms of coordinates relative to one basis into an assertion expressed in terms of coordinates relative to the other basis. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

  3. Covariance and contravariance of vectors - Wikipedia

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

    tangent basis e 1, e 2, e 3 to the coordinate curves (left), dual basis, covector basis, or reciprocal basis e 1, e 2, e 3 to coordinate surfaces (right), in 3-d general curvilinear coordinates (q 1, q 2, q 3), a tuple of numbers to define a point in a position space. Note the basis and cobasis coincide only when the basis is orthonormal. [1 ...

  4. Dual representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_representation

    Consider a unitary representation of a group , and let us work in an orthonormal basis. Thus, ρ {\displaystyle \rho } maps G {\displaystyle G} into the group of unitary matrices. Then the abstract transpose in the definition of the dual representation may be identified with the ordinary matrix transpose.

  5. Invertible matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invertible_matrix

    (Similarly, here, "basis" can equivalently be replaced with either "linearly independent set" or "spanning set") The determinant of A is nonzero: det A ≠ 0 . (In general, a square matrix over a commutative ring is invertible if and only if its determinant is a unit (i.e. multiplicatively invertible element) of that ring.

  6. Regular representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_representation

    For a finite group G, the left regular representation λ (over a field K) is a linear representation on the K-vector space V freely generated by the elements of G, i.e. elements of G can be identified with a basis of V. Given g ∈ G, λ g is the linear map determined by its action on the basis by left translation by g, i.e.

  7. Tangential and normal components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_and_normal...

    Illustration of tangential and normal components of a vector to a surface. In mathematics, given a vector at a point on a curve, that vector can be decomposed uniquely as a sum of two vectors, one tangent to the curve, called the tangential component of the vector, and another one perpendicular to the curve, called the normal component of the vector.

    Instead, the opposite has happened. Since Fed Chair Jerome Powell lowered interest rates by 50 basis points on September 18, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has moved higher, not lower.

  9. Compound interest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interest

    The compounding frequency is the number of times per given unit of time the accumulated interest is capitalized, on a regular basis. The frequency could be yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily, continuously, or not at all until maturity.
