... This is the unbiased formula for S. From time to time we might have occasion to see the maximum likelihood formula which uses n instead of n - 1. The covariance matrix is a symmetric matrix, square, with as many rows (and columns) as there are variables. We can think of it as summarizing the relatio ...

Nilpotent Jacobians in Dimension Three
... Let H = (H1 , . . . , Hn ) ∈ k[x1 , . . . , xn ]n (homogeneous of degree d ≥ 1) such that JH is nilpotent and H(0) = 0. Does it follow that H1 , . . . , Hn are linearly dependent over k ? It was shown in [1] that the answer is affirmative if rankJH ≤ 1. In particular this implies that the dependence ...

... • We say that the vectors [x, y] and [u, v] are equal if they have the same length and direction. We observed that [x, y] = [u, v] if and only if x + v = y + u. • Every vector [x, y] is equal to a unique vector in standard position: [x, y] = [0, y − x]. Sometimes we will abuse notation and simply wr ...

Linear algebra
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning vector spaces and linear mappings between such spaces. It includes the study of lines, planes, and subspaces, but is also concerned with properties common to all vector spaces.The set of points with coordinates that satisfy a linear equation forms a hyperplane in an n-dimensional space. The conditions under which a set of n hyperplanes intersect in a single point is an important focus of study in linear algebra. Such an investigation is initially motivated by a system of linear equations containing several unknowns. Such equations are naturally represented using the formalism of matrices and vectors.Linear algebra is central to both pure and applied mathematics. For instance, abstract algebra arises by relaxing the axioms of a vector space, leading to a number of generalizations. Functional analysis studies the infinite-dimensional version of the theory of vector spaces. Combined with calculus, linear algebra facilitates the solution of linear systems of differential equations.Techniques from linear algebra are also used in analytic geometry, engineering, physics, natural sciences, computer science, computer animation, and the social sciences (particularly in economics). Because linear algebra is such a well-developed theory, nonlinear mathematical models are sometimes approximated by linear models.
