  2. Magnitude (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the magnitude or size of a mathematical object is a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind. More formally, an object's magnitude is the displayed result of an ordering (or ranking) of the class of objects to which it belongs.

    The expectation value (equivalently the average or mean value) is the average measurement of an observable, for particle in region R. The expectation value A ^ {\displaystyle \left\langle {\hat {A}}\right\rangle } of the operator A ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {A}}} is calculated from: [ 3 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_algebra_relations

    The following are important identities in vector algebra.Identities that only involve the magnitude of a vector ‖ ‖ and the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors A·B, apply to vectors in any dimension, while identities that use the cross product (vector product) A×B only apply in three dimensions, since the cross product is only defined there.

  7. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    When truncating, a number of this order of magnitude is between 10 6 and 10 7. In a similar example, with the phrase "seven-figure income", the order of magnitude is the number of figures minus one, so it is very easily determined without a calculator to be 6. An order of magnitude is an approximate position on a logarithmic scale.

  9. Euclidean vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector

    An example is velocity, the magnitude of which is speed. For instance, the velocity 5 meters per second upward could be represented by the vector (0, 5) (in 2 dimensions with the positive y-axis as 'up'). Another quantity represented by a vector is force, since it has a magnitude and direction and follows the rules of vector addition. [7]
