Scalar in a sentence

Basic objects Scalar fields main A scalar field associates a scalar value to every point in a space.

Additionally, the low scalar performance of the machine meant that after the switch had taken place and the machine was running scalar instructions, the performance was quite poor.

For seeAlso Geometric interpretation of the angle between two vectors defined using an inner product Scalar Product Spaces, over any field, have "scalar products" that are symmetrical and linear in the first(by convention) argument.

From the point of view of differential forms, vector calculus implicitly identifies k-forms with scalar fields or vector fields: 0-forms and 3-forms with scalar fields, 1-forms and 2-forms with vector fields.

If the work done by a force on a body that moves from A to B does not depend on the path between these points, then the work of this force measured from A assigns a scalar value to every other point in space and defines a scalar potential field.

In addition to serializing directly to files, Storable includes the freeze function to return a serialized copy of the data packed into a scalar, and thaw to deserialize such a scalar.

Scalar multiplication main Scalar multiplication of a vector by a factor of 3 stretches the vector out.

Scalar triple product The scalar triple product (also called the box product or mixed triple product) is not really a new operator, but a way of applying the other two multiplication operators to three vectors.

The operation of multiplying a vector by a scalar is called scalar multiplication.

This would result in performance performance superior to equivalent scalar computations.

Zero Point Scalar FieldClark W Griswald: So, was this a snafu, or a fubar, or possibly a clusterfark?

Scalar means the matter has no internal rotation (spin), and it resembles the Higgs boson.

For instance, while globally wage gap issues and other workplace woes continue to exist, a woman who has successfully navigated and found her way through the scalar chain, can advise other women on how to do so.

Zero Point Scalar Fieldnarcotic - a drug or other substance affecting mood or behavior and sold for non-medical purposes, especially an illegal one.

Her fellowship will combine multi-scalar institutional analysis, ecosystem service quantification, with probabilistic modeling to understand synergies and tradeoffs of ecosystem-based adaptation in peri-urban areas in Namibia and Tanzania.

A basis independent definition of one such extension is : where ⟨a⟩ denotes the scalar part of a (the grade 0 part in the Z-grading).

A generalized electric scalar potential is also used in electrodynamics when time-varying electromagnetic fields are present, but this can not be so simply calculated.

Although such techniques were not widely used by commercial interpreters, they exemplify the language's best survival mechanism: not specifying the order of scalar operations or the exact contents of memory.

An analogy is the difference between scalar and vector arithmetic.

A nonempty subset W of a vector space V that is closed under addition and scalar multiplication (and therefore contains the 0-vector of V) is called a linear subspace of V, or simply a subspace of V, when the ambient space is unambiguously a vector space.
