  2. Bivector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivector

    A description of the projective geometry can be constructed in the geometric algebra using basic operations. For example, given two distinct points in RP n−1 represented by vectors a and b the line containing them is given by a ∧ b (or b ∧ a). Two lines intersect in a point if A ∧ B = 0 for their bivectors A and B. This point is given ...

  3. Bipartite graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartite_graph

    When modelling relations between two different classes of objects, bipartite graphs very often arise naturally. For instance, a graph of football players and clubs, with an edge between a player and a club if the player has played for that club, is a natural example of an affiliation network, a type of bipartite graph used in social network analysis.

  4. Universal geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_geometric_algebra

    Some r-vectors are scalars (r = 0), vectors (r = 1) and bivectors (r = 2). One may generate a finite-dimensional GA by choosing a unit pseudoscalar (I). The set of all vectors that satisfy = is a vector space. The geometric product of the vectors in this vector space then defines the GA, of which I is a member.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biorthogonal_system

    In mathematics, a biorthogonal system is a pair of indexed families of vectors ~ ~ such that ~, ~ =,, where and form a pair of topological vector spaces that are in duality, , is a bilinear mapping and , is the Kronecker delta.

  6. Geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_algebra

    In mathematics, a geometric algebra (also known as a Clifford algebra) is an algebra that can represent and manipulate geometrical objects such as vectors.Geometric algebra is built out of two fundamental operations, addition and the geometric product.

  7. Physics First - Wikipedia

    After this, students are then encouraged to take an 11th or 12th grade course in physics, which does use more advanced math, including vectors, geometry, and more involved algebra. There is a large overlap between the Physics First movement, and the movement towards teaching conceptual physics - teaching physics in a way that emphasizes a ...

  8. Bipolar coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_coordinates

    Bipolar coordinates are a two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system based on the Apollonian circles. [1] There is also a third system, based on two poles ( biangular coordinates ). The term "bipolar" is further used on occasion to describe other curves having two singular points (foci), such as ellipses , hyperbolas , and Cassini ovals .

  9. Geometrography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrography

    Cover of Lemoine's "Géométrographie" In the mathematical field of geometry, geometrography is the study of geometrical constructions. [1] The concepts and methods of geometrography were first expounded by Émile Lemoine (1840–1912), a French civil engineer and a mathematician, in a meeting of the French Association for the Advancement of the Sciences held at Oran in 1888.
