1length, area, and volume — Dimensional measures of one , two , and three dimensional geometric objects. All three are magnitudes, representing the size of an object. Length is the size of a line segment (see distance formulas), area is the size of a closed region in a… …
2dimensions — n. pl. 1. Size, magnitude, bulk, volume, bigness, capacity, amplitude, greatness, largeness, mass, massiveness. 2. Measurements, linear dimensions; length, breadth, and thickness …
3Length — is the long dimension of any object. The length of a thing is the distance between its ends, its linear extent as measured from end to end. This may be distinguished from height, which is vertical extent, and width or breadth, which are the… …
4linear — lineal, linear share the basic meaning of or relating to a line or lines, but they are clearly distinguished in their specific senses. Lineal is more often applied to a direct line of succession from or to a common ancestor either physical or… …
5linear — linearly, adv. /lin ee euhr/, adj. 1. of, consisting of, or using lines: linear design. 2. pertaining to or represented by lines: linear dimensions. 3. extended or arranged in a line: a linear series. 4. involving measurement in one dimension… …
6Length contraction — Length contraction, according to Hendrik Lorentz, is the physical phenomenon of a decrease in length detected by an observer in objects that travel at any non zero velocity relative to that observer. This contraction (more formally called Lorentz …
7linear measure — measure meas ure (m[e^]zh [ u]r; 135), n. [OE. mesure, F. mesure, L. mensura, fr. metiri, mensus, to measure; akin to metrum poetical measure, Gr. me tron, E. meter. Cf. {Immense}, {Mensuration}, {Mete} to measure.] 1. A standard of dimension; a… …
8algebra, linear — Introduction mathematical discipline that deals with vectors (vector) and matrices (matrix) and, more generally, with vector spaces (vector space) and linear transformations. Unlike other parts of mathematics that are frequently invigorated …
9Spinors in three dimensions — In mathematics, the spinor concept as specialised to three dimensions can be treated by means of the traditional notions of dot product and cross product. This is part of the detailed algebraic discussion of the rotation group… …
10Non-linear least squares — is the form of least squares analysis which is used to fit a set of m observations with a model that is non linear in n unknown parameters (m > n). It is used in some forms of non linear regression. The basis of the method is to… …
