Under: graphviz.

Basically: S.

A series of systems usually derived from the International System of Units that are more convenient for certain applications.

Multivariate polynomial where each term has degree 2, e.g.:is a quadratic form because each term has degree 2:but e.g.:is not because the term $x^3$ has degree 3.

More generally for any number of variables it can be written as:

There is a 1-to-1 relationship between quadratic forms and symmetric bilinear forms. In matrix representation, this can be written as:where $\vec{x}$ contains each of the variabes of the form, e.g. for 2 variables:

Strictly speaking, the associated bilinear form would not need to be a symmetric bilinear form, at least for the real numbers or complex numbers which are commutative. E.g.:But that same matrix could also be written in symmetric form as:so why not I guess, its simpler/more restricted.

The easy and less generic integral. The harder one is the Lebesgue integral.
