What is the mathematical equation or algorithm for alignment of four points in cartesian coordinates (X & Y). Say, we have 4 nominal points (Xn & Yn), and another 4 measured points (Xm & Ym)?. After alignment, what are the new locations of the measured points (Xmn & Ymn)?.

What do you mean by "alignment"? Alignment in what sense? What do you mean by "nominal points"? What is the difference between "nominal points" and "measured points"?
 
Points are located at certain object. Nominal points are the designed point dimensions, in the blue print, related to certain cartesian coordinate, or the dimensions of these points as specified in the CAD drawing. Measured points are the actual measured locations or dimensions in the real world, on the real object. Alignment means trying to align both nominal and measured point locations, as a group but not one by one. As if the location of the nominal point dimensions are drawn on white sheet, and the location of the measured point dimensions are drawn on a transparent sheet. Moving the Transparent sheet on the white sheet to align both points (Nominal and measured) for the minimum error or the least square error. alignment here like a best fit between these point locations.
 

Thread 'Trouble understanding an online solution to an exercise in Dummit & Foote'

##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...

Thread 'Questions about non existence of GCDs vs (coimages, cokernels)'

The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...

Thread 'Decomposition into irreps of compact Lie group'

When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
