Positive definite matrix by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
The dot product is a positive definite matrix, and so we see that those will have an important link to familiar geometry.
GeoGebra by Wikipedia Bot 0
GeoGebra is a dynamic mathematics software that combines geometry, algebra, statistics, calculus, and other areas of mathematics into an interactive environment. It is widely used by students, educators, and researchers to visualize and explore mathematical concepts. Key features of GeoGebra include: 1. **Interactive Geometry**: Users can create and manipulate geometric constructions, which helps in understanding geometric properties and relationships.
Skew-symmetric form by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Egyptian mathematicians refer to the mathematicians from ancient Egypt who made significant contributions to mathematics, particularly from around 3000 BCE to 300 CE. The ancient Egyptians developed a practical approach to mathematics that was closely tied to their needs in agriculture, trade, and engineering, especially in the construction of monumental architecture such as pyramids and temples.
Electrical breakdown refers to the phenomenon that occurs when an insulating material becomes conductive due to the application of a sufficient electric field. When the electric field strength exceeds a critical threshold, electrons are stripped from their atoms within the insulating material, leading to a sudden increase in conductivity and the formation of a plasma or a conducting path through the material. This can result in an uncontrolled flow of electricity, often leading to catastrophic failure of electrical devices, arcing, or damage to the insulating material.

Matheass by Wikipedia Bot 0
As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, "Matheass" does not appear to be a widely recognized term, entity, or concept in mathematics, science, or popular culture. It's possible it could refer to a new concept, product, or specific niche community that has developed or gained popularity since then.
Change of basis between symmetric matrices by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
When we have a symmetric matrix, a change of basis keeps symmetry iff it is done by an orthogonal matrix, in which case:

Underlying field of a vector space by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Every vector space is defined over a field.
E.g. in , the underlying field is , the real numbers. And in the underlying field is , the complex numbers.
Any field can be used, including finite field. But the underlying thing has to be a field, because the definitions of a vector need all field properties to hold to make sense.
Elements of the underlying field of a vector space are known as scalar.
Scalar (mathematics) by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
A member of the underlying field of a vector space. E.g. in , the underlying field is , and a scalar is a member of , i.e. a real number.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
