Un-skewing a skew symmetric matrix (for want of a better phrase)

[QUOTE="Trying2Learn, post: 6501986, member: 654601"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] A better term for the process of creating a skew symmetric matrix Hello Say I have a column of components v = (x, y, z). I can create a skew symmetric matrix: M = [0, -z, y; z, 0; -x; -y, x, 0] I can also go the other way and convert the skew symmetric matrix into a column of components. Silly question now... I have, in the past, referred to this as "skewing a column into a skew symmetric matrix" or "unskewing the skew symmetric matrix." Is there a better phrase to describe this? (mostly, the second one). (And forget the algebra and the reasons... I just need the term that best describes the process.) [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
