The Jacobian of the derivatives partialf/partialx_1, partialf/partialx_2, ..., partialf/partialx_n of a function f(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) with respect to x_1, x_2, ..., x_n is ...

Determinants are mathematical objects that are very useful in the analysis and solution of systems of linear equations. As shown by Cramer's rule, a nonhomogeneous system of ...

H=|aa^'a^('')|a_(x^(n-2))a_(x^(n-2))^'a_(x^(n-2))^('')=0. The nonsingular inflections of a curve are its nonsingular intersections with the Hessian.

It is especially convenient to specify planes in so-called Hessian normal form. This is obtained from the general equation of a plane ax+by+cz+d=0 (1) by defining the ...

Gradshteyn and Ryzhik (2000) define the circulant determinant by (1) where omega_j is the nth root of unity. The second-order circulant determinant is |x_1 x_2; x_2 ...

A determinant appearing in Padé approximant identities: C_(r/s)=|a_(r-s+1) a_(r-s+2) ... a_r; | | ... |; a_r a_(r+1) ... a_(r+s-1)|.

A useful determinant identity allows the following determinant to be expressed using vector operations, |x_1 y_1 z_1 1; x_2 y_2 z_2 1; x_3 y_3 z_3 1; x_4 y_4 z_4 ...

A determinant used to determine in which coordinate systems the Helmholtz differential equation is separable (Morse and Feshbach 1953). A determinant S=|Phi_(mn)|=|Phi_(11) ...

The determinant G(f_1,f_2,...,f_n)=|intf_1^2dt intf_1f_2dt ... intf_1f_ndt; intf_2f_1dt intf_2^2dt ... intf_2f_ndt; | | ... |; intf_nf_1dt intf_nf_2dt ... intf_n^2dt|.

The determinant of a knot is defined as |Delta(-1)|, where Delta(z) is the Alexander polynomial (Rolfsen 1976, p. 213).
