I can't figure out what an author means by this expression: \textbf{n} \cdot \textbf{e} \cdot (\textbf{I} - \textbf{nn}) and \left(\textbf{u} - \textbf{U}\right) \cdot (\textbf{I} - \textbf{nn}) Here, all I know is that \textbf{u} and \textbf{U} are vectors of length 3. \textbf{n} is a...

Here is my question(It is not a homework problem.) What does it mean to multiply two matrices? I know how to do the operation but what is the concept behind it? I understand dot products and vectors. Matrix multiplication can be seen as a dot product operation of row vector of vector A to...

I've been asked by my professor to identify a group of singular matrices. At first, I did not think this was possible, since a singular matrix is non-invertible by definition, yet to prove a groups existence, every such singular matrix must have an inverse. It has been brought to my...

Say you have two functions, F(x,y), and G(x,y), and you want to expand them in finite Fourier series. Let their coefficients be designated as F_ij and G_ij. When you multiply the two functions, you get X=FG, and this should also have its own Fourier series, call its components X_mn. What is the...

Just wondering how this is simplified to the third line: If w, z are complex numbers wz = rs( cos\alpha + isin \alpha ) (cos \varphi + isin \varphi) wz = rs(cos\alpha cos \varphi - sin \alphasin\varphi) + i(sin \alphacos\varphi + cos \alpha sin \varphi)) wz = rs(cos (\alpha...

All right, I've been doing a lot of reading on quaternions, and while I think I understand how to use them, I'm still very confused as to why certain things are defined the way that they are. First question: Why, when multiplying the imaginary portions of quaternions do you get these "rules"...

Can anyone tell me what's the formula for even and odd number multiplication. For example, what would be the product for 2 x 4 x 6 x 8 x 10 ... x 100 and what would be the product for 1 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 9 x 12 ... x 99? I am trying to solve a problem which asks me to prove that 1/2 x 3/4 x 5/6 ...

When two bodies interact 'multilication' sign is mostly (always) used. It is used in various other instances also. Why not 'addition' sign? ( I know that multiplication can be understood as continued addition). Some technical answers please. For example p=mv why not p=m+v

This formula is much easier than the standard 10x-x to do in your head. I have been able to do 3 digit numbers with this trick easily, and I'm generally not that great at doing math in my head. Anyway, he it is: http://dratsab.deviantart.com/art/Multiplication-of-9-s-Trick-85433340
