104Centroid — of a triangle In geometry, the centroid, geometric center, or barycenter of a plane figure or two dimensional shape X is the intersection of all straight lines that divide X into two parts of equal moment about the line. Informally, it is the… …
105Orientation (geometry) — This article is about the orientation or attitude of an object in space. For orientation as a property in linear algebra, see Orientation (vector space). Changing orientation of a rigid body is the same as rotating the axes of a reference frame… …
106Eigenvalue, eigenvector and eigenspace — In mathematics, given a linear transformation, an Audio|De eigenvector.ogg|eigenvector of that linear transformation is a nonzero vector which, when that transformation is applied to it, changes in length, but not direction. For each eigenvector… …
