The study of valuations which simplifies class field theory and the theory of function fields.

The quantity which a function f takes upon application to a given quantity.

A quantity which takes on the value zero is said to vanish identically, or sometimes simply to vanish. The term "vanish identically" is preferred when emphasis is needed that ...

A quantity which takes on the value zero is said to vanish. For example, the function f(z)=z^2 vanishes at the point z=0. For emphasis, the term "vanish identically" is ...

The point or points to which the extensions of parallel lines appear to converge in a perspective drawing.

The figure formed when the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral are joined. Varignon's theorem demonstrated that this figure is a parallelogram. The center of the ...

The figure formed when the midpoints of the sides of a convex quadrilateral are joined in order is a parallelogram. Equivalently, the bimedians bisect each other. The area of ...

A vector difference is the result of subtracting one vector from another. A vector difference is denoted using the normal minus sign, i.e., the vector difference of vectors A ...

Given vectors u and v, the vector direct product, also known as a dyadic, is uv=u tensor v^(T), where tensor is the Kronecker product and v^(T) is the matrix transpose. For ...

A function of one or more variables whose range is three-dimensional (or, in general, n-dimensional), as compared to a scalar function, whose range is one-dimensional. Vector ...
