The plane determined by the points x_1, x_2, and x_3 and the line passing through the points x_4 and x_5 intersect in a point which can be determined by solving the four ...

The line bisecting a given line segment P_1P_2 can be constructed geometrically, as illustrated above.

A line bundle is a special case of a vector bundle in which the fiber is either R, in the case of a real line bundle, or C, in the case of a complex line bundle.

Also known as the first fundamental form, ds^2=g_(ab)dx^adx^b. In the principal axis frame for three dimensions, ds^2=g_(11)(dx^1)^2+g_(22)(dx^2)^2+g_(33)(dx^3)^2. At ...

The negative pedal curve of a line specified parametrically by x = at (1) y = 0 (2) is given by x_n = 2at-x (3) y_n = ((x-at)^2)/y, (4) which is a parabola.

A linear approximation to a function f(x) at a point x_0 can be computed by taking the first term in the Taylor series f(x_0+Deltax)=f(x_0)+f^'(x_0)Deltax+....

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 ...

A sum of the elements from some set with constant coefficients placed in front of each. For example, a linear combination of the vectors x, y, and z is given by ax+by+cz, ...

A linear functional on a real vector space V is a function T:V->R, which satisfies the following properties. 1. T(v+w)=T(v)+T(w), and 2. T(alphav)=alphaT(v). When V is a ...

A subset M of a Hilbert space H is a linear manifold if it is closed under addition of vectors and scalar multiplication.
