Dyads extend vectors to provide an alternative description to second tensor rank tensors. A dyad D(A,B) of a pair of vectors A and B is defined by D(A,B)=AB. The dot product ...

The equation defining Killing vectors. L_Xg_(ab)=X_(a;b)+X_(b;a)=2X_((a;b))=0, where L is the Lie derivative and X_(b;a) is a covariant derivative.

A lattice which is built up of layers of n-dimensional lattices in (n+1)-dimensional space. The vectors specifying how layers are stacked are called glue vectors. The order ...

A linear code over a finite field with q elements F_q is a linear subspace C subset F_q^n. The vectors forming the subspace are called codewords. When codewords are chosen ...

The span of subspace generated by vectors v_1 and v_2 in V is Span(v_1,v_2)={rv_1+sv_2:r,s in R}. A set of vectors m={v_1,...,v_n} can be tested to see if they span ...

The pedal curve of an astroid x = acos^3t (1) y = asin^3t (2) with pedal point at the center is the quadrifolium x_p = acostsin^2t (3) y_p = acos^2tsint. (4)

Lockwood (1957) terms the ellipse negative pedal curve with pedal point at the focus "Burleigh's oval" in honor of his student M. J. Burleigh, who first drew his attention to ...

The pedal curve of circle involute f = cost+tsint (1) g = sint-tcost (2) with the center as the pedal point is the Archimedes' spiral x = tsint (3) y = -tcost. (4)

The radial curve of a unit circle from a radial point (x,y) and parametric equations x = cost (1) y = sint (2) is another circle with parametric equations x_r = x-cost (3) ...

The point of concurrence S of a triangle's cleavers M_1C_1, M_2C_2, and M_3C_3, which is simply the Spieker center, i.e., the incenter of the medial triangle DeltaM_1M_2M_3 ...
