A bivariate polynomial is a polynomial in two variables. Bivariate polynomials have the form f(x,y)=sum_(i,j)a_(i,j)x^iy^j. A homogeneous bivariate polynomial, also called a ...

A bivector, also called a 2-vector, is an antisymmetric tensor of second rank (a.k.a. 2-form). For a bivector X^->, X^->=X_(ab)omega^a ^ omega^b, where ^ is the wedge product ...
