  2. Augmented matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_matrix

    Augmented matrix. Matrix formed by appending columns of two other matrices. In linear algebra, an augmented matrix is a matrix obtained by appending a -dimensional column vector , on the right, as a further column to a -dimensional matrix . This is usually done for the purpose of performing the same elementary row operations on the augmented ...

  3. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    where the i th row of the n × 2 matrix A is [a i1, a i2], w is the 2 × 1 vector [x y], and the i th element of the column vector b is b i. If A has independent columns, its rank is 2. Then if and only if the rank of the augmented matrix [A | b] is also 2, there exists a solution of the matrix equation and thus an intersection point of the n ...

  4. Homogeneous coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_coordinates

    In mathematics, homogeneous coordinates or projective coordinates, introduced by August Ferdinand Möbius in his 1827 work Der barycentrische Calcul, [1][2][3] are a system of coordinates used in projective geometry, just as Cartesian coordinates are used in Euclidean geometry. They have the advantage that the coordinates of points, including ...

  5. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    In mathematics, a parametric equation defines a group of quantities as functions of one or more independent variables called parameters. [1] Parametric equations are commonly used to express the coordinates of the points that make up a geometric object such as a curve or surface, called a parametric curve and parametric surface, respectively.

  6. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of two or more linear equations involving the same variables. [1][2] For example, is a system of three equations in the three variables x, y, z. A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such that all the equations are simultaneously ...

  7. Transformation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix

    Transformation matrix. In linear algebra, linear transformations can be represented by matrices. If is a linear transformation mapping to and is a column vector with entries, then for some matrix , called the transformation matrix of . [citation needed] Note that has rows and columns, whereas the transformation is from to .

  8. Linear algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_algebra

    The blue line is the common solution to two of these equations. Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as: linear maps such as: and their representations in vector spaces and through matrices. [1][2][3] Linear algebra is central to almost all areas of mathematics. For instance, linear algebra is fundamental ...

  9. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2). In mathematics, the conjugate gradient method is an algorithm for the numerical solution of particular systems of linear equations, namely those whose matrix is positive-semidefinite.
