  2. Tangential and normal components - Wikipedia

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

    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. Similarly, a vector at a point on a surface can be broken down the ...

  3. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    The vector projection (also known as the vector component or vector resolution) of a vector a on (or onto) a nonzero vector b is the orthogonal projection of a onto a straight line parallel to b. The projection of a onto b is often written as proj b ⁡ a {\displaystyle \operatorname {proj} _{\mathbf {b} }\mathbf {a} } or a ∥ b .

    This is a list of free and open-source software (FOSS) packages, computer software licensed under free software licenses and open-source licenses. Software that fits the Free Software Definition may be more appropriately called free software ; the GNU project in particular objects to their works being referred to as open-source . [ 1 ]

  5. Principal component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_analysis

    The k-th principal component of a data vector x (i) can therefore be given as a score t k(i) = x (i) ⋅ w (k) in the transformed coordinates, or as the corresponding vector in the space of the original variables, {x (i) ⋅ w (k)} w (k), where w (k) is the kth eigenvector of X T X. The full principal components decomposition of X can therefore ...

    And in functional analysis, when x is a linear function of some variable, such as time, these components are sinusoids, and they are orthogonal functions. A phase-shift of xx + π /2 changes the identity to: cos(x + φ) = cos(x) cos(φ) + cos(x + π /2) sin(φ), in which case cos(x) cos(φ) is the in-phase component.

  7. List of open-source software for mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source...

    This free software had an earlier incarnation, Macsyma. Developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1960s, it was maintained by William Schelter from 1982 to 2001. In 1998, Schelter obtained permission to release Maxima as open-source software under the GNU General Public license and the source code was released later that year ...

  8. Covariance and contravariance of vectors - Wikipedia

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

    A vector's components change scale inversely to changes in scale to the reference axes, and consequently a vector is called a contravariant tensor. A vector, which is an example of a contravariant tensor, has components that transform inversely to the transformation of the reference axes, (with example transformations including rotation and ...
