  2. Vector area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_area

    In 3-dimensional geometry and vector calculus, an area vector is a vector combining an area quantity with a direction, thus representing an oriented area in three dimensions. Every bounded surface in three dimensions can be associated with a unique area vector called its vector area .

  3. Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

    Ampère's right-hand grip rule, [7] also called the right-hand screw rule, coffee-mug rule or the corkscrew-rule; is used either when a vector (such as the Euler vector) must be defined to represent the rotation of a body, a magnetic field, or a fluid, or vice versa, when it is necessary to define a rotation vector to

  4. Sides of an equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sides_of_an_equation

    Similarly, RHS is the right-hand side. The two sides have the same value, expressed differently, since equality is symmetric. [1] More generally, these terms may apply to an inequation or inequality; the right-hand side is everything on the right side of a test operator in an expression, with LHS defined similarly.

  5. Orientation (vector space) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(vector_space)

    A vector space with an orientation selected is called an oriented vector space, while one not having an orientation selected, is called unoriented. In mathematics , orientability is a broader notion that, in two dimensions, allows one to say when a cycle goes around clockwise or counterclockwise, and in three dimensions when a figure is left ...

  6. Cross product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_product

    The right-hand side is the Gram determinant of a and b, the square of the area of the parallelogram defined by the vectors. This condition determines the magnitude of the cross product. Namely, since the dot product is defined, in terms of the angle θ between the two vectors, as:

  7. Classical Hamiltonian quaternions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Hamiltonian...

    Since every unit vector can be thought of as a point on a unit sphere, and since a versor can be thought of as the quotient of two vectors, a versor has a representative great circle arc, called a vector arc, connecting these two points, drawn from the divisor or lower part of quotient, to the dividend or upper part of the quotient.

    If you use your right hand, your signature is probably going to be less legible. Old-school can openers only work well in the right hand. Manual can openers were designed for righties.
