A quadratic form Q(z) is said to be positive definite if Q(z)>0 for z!=0. A real quadratic form in n variables is positive definite iff its canonical form is ...

Using a Tschirnhausen transformation, the principal quintic form can be transformed to the one-parameter form w^5-10cw^3+45c^2w-c^2=0 (1) named after Francesco Brioschi ...

A differential k-form is a tensor of tensor rank k that is antisymmetric under exchange of any pair of indices. The number of algebraically independent components in n ...

The intercept form of a line in the Cartesian plane with x-intercept a and y-intercept b is given by x/a+y/b=1.

A surface given by the form z=F(x,y).

A linear real-valued function omega^1 of vectors v such that omega^1(v)|->R. Vectors (i.e., contravariant vectors or "kets" |psi>) and one-forms (i.e., covariant vectors or ...

The slope-intercept form of a line in the Cartesian plane is given by y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

A trace form on an arbitrary algebra A is a symmetric bilinear form (x,y) such that (xy,z)=(x,yz) for all x,y,z in A (Schafer 1996, p. 24).

A formula of first-order logic is said to be in Skolemized form (sometimes also called Skolem standard form or universal form) if it is of the form forall x_1... forall x_nM, ...

A symmetric bilinear form on a vector space V is a bilinear function Q:V×V->R (1) which satisfies Q(v,w)=Q(w,v). For example, if A is a n×n symmetric matrix, then ...
