The Jacobian at a point gives the best linear approximation of the distorted parallelogram near that point (right, in translucent white), and the Jacobian determinant gives the ratio of the area of the approximating parallelogram to that of the original square. If m = n, then f is a function from R n to itself and the Jacobian matrix is a ...
Vectors involved in the parallelogram law. In a normed space, the statement of the parallelogram law is an equation relating norms: ‖ ‖ + ‖ ‖ = ‖ + ‖ + ‖ ‖,.. The parallelogram law is equivalent to the seemingly weaker statement: ‖ ‖ + ‖ ‖ ‖ + ‖ + ‖ ‖, because the reverse inequality can be obtained from it by substituting (+) for , and () for , and then simplifying.
The area of the parallelogram is the area of the blue region, which is the interior of the parallelogram. The base × height area formula can also be derived using the figure to the right. The area K of the parallelogram to the right (the blue area) is the total area of the rectangle less the area of the two orange triangles. The area of the ...
Parallelogram (Parallel Motion [Note 2]) and Antiparallelogram (Contraparallelogram, Inverse Parallelogram, Butterfly, Bow-tie) linkages; Deltoid (Galloway) and Trapezium (Arglin) linkages; Three revolute joints: It is denoted as RRRP, PRRR, RPRR, or RRPR, constructed from four links connected by three revolute joints and one prismatic joint.
The vectors represented by a 2-by-2 matrix correspond to the sides of a unit square transformed into a parallelogram. Matrices and matrix multiplication reveal their essential features when related to linear transformations , also known as linear maps .
The theorem of the gnomon can be used to construct a new parallelogram or rectangle of equal area to a given parallelogram or rectangle by the means of straightedge and compass constructions. This also allows the representation of a division of two numbers in geometrical terms, an important feature to reformulate geometrical problems in ...
The missing square puzzle is an optical illusion used in mathematics classes to help students reason about geometrical figures; or rather to teach them not to reason using figures, but to use only textual descriptions and the axioms of geometry. It depicts two arrangements made of similar shapes in slightly different configurations.
In linear algebra, Cramer's rule is an explicit formula for the solution of a system of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, valid whenever the system has a unique solution. It expresses the solution in terms of the determinants of the (square) coefficient matrix and of matrices obtained from it by replacing one column by the ...
