MA 242 LINEAR ALGEBRA C1, Solutions to First
... The row reduced matrix contains three pivot positions and therefore does not have a pivot in every row. Hence, the columns of A do not span R4 , see Theorem 4. (b) No, Ax = b does not have a solution for every b in R 4 , since that would be equivalent to the columns of A spanning R4 , again by Theor ...

... • Row selections on an m×n matrix A are accomplished by leftmultiplying A by the appropriate standard (row) unit vectors: (e(i))T A = ith row of A • If P is a m × m permutation matrix, then PA is a permutation of the rows of A. Question: If n = m and AP puts the columns of A in a particular order, w ...

Cartesian tensor
In geometry and linear algebra, a Cartesian tensor uses an orthonormal basis to represent a tensor in a Euclidean space in the form of components. Converting a tensor's components from one such basis to another is through an orthogonal transformation.The most familiar coordinate systems are the two-dimensional and three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate systems. Cartesian tensors may be used with any Euclidean space, or more technically, any finite-dimensional vector space over the field of real numbers that has an inner product.Use of Cartesian tensors occurs in physics and engineering, such as with the Cauchy stress tensor and the moment of inertia tensor in rigid body dynamics. Sometimes general curvilinear coordinates are convenient, as in high-deformation continuum mechanics, or even necessary, as in general relativity. While orthonormal bases may be found for some such coordinate systems (e.g. tangent to spherical coordinates), Cartesian tensors may provide considerable simplification for applications in which rotations of rectilinear coordinate axes suffice. The transformation is a passive transformation, since the coordinates are changed and not the physical system.
