A change of coordinates matrix, also called a transition matrix, specifies the transformation from one vector basis to another under a change of basis. For example, if ...

A subset of a topological space which is compact with respect to the relative topology.

Two complex numbers z=x+iy and z^'=x^'+iy^' are added together componentwise, z+z^'=(x+x^')+i(y+y^'). In component form, (x,y)+(x^',y^')=(x+x^',y+y^') (Krantz 1999, p. 1).

Confocal conics are conic sections sharing a common focus. Any two confocal central conics are orthogonal (Ogilvy 1990, p. 77).

For a countable set of n disjoint events E_1, E_2, ..., E_n P( union _(i=1)^nE_i)=sum_(i=1)^nP(E_i).

Let sigma_1, ..., sigma_4 be four planes in general position through a point P and let P_(ij) be a point on the line sigma_i·sigma_j. Let sigma_(ijk) denote the plane ...

A cube 9-compound can be constructed from the vertices of the first dodecahedron 2-compound. It will be implemented in a future version of the Wolfram Language as ...

The slicing of a three-dimensional object by a plane (or more general slice).

The n-cyclohedron, also known as the Bott-Taubes polytope, is defined as the compactification of the configuration space of n points on the circle. The cyclohedron can be ...
