Tensor Algebra: A Combinatorial Approach to the Projective Geometry of Figures
... All quadratic curves in the plane can be given in terms of this incidence relation by varying the coefficient vector cA(2) of the hypersurface. This concept can be used to define curves of any degree in P2 and likewise surfaces of any degree in P3 . The dualization operator for symmetrically embedd ...

... a × b = ε ijk ai b j e( k ) Velocity due to rigid body rotations We will show that the velocity field of a rigid body can be described by two vectors, a translation velocity, v(t), and an angular velocity, ω. A rigid body has the constraint that the distance between two points in the body does not c ...

... pointwise. Thus f corresponds exactly to a vector in F ×∞ . Since F ×∞ is never isomorphic to F ⊕∞ we see that V ∗ is not always isomorphic to V . Problem 3: Suppose that F 0 is a field containing F and V is an F -vector space. If we consider F 0 to be an F -vector space, we can form the tensor prod ...

... There is one more important definition we need before we can introduce the determinant. We will want to be able to look at the skew-symmetric tensor product: we want to look at the tensor product with one extra relation imposed: that v ⊗ v 0 = −v 0 ⊗ v. Note that this only makes sense if we’re looki ...
