Homogeneous differential equation — A homogeneous differential equation has several distinct meanings.One meaning is that a first order ordinary differential equation is homogeneous if it has the form : frac{dy}{dx} = F(y/x).To solve such equations, one makes the change of… … Wikipedia
Linear density — Linear density, linear mass density or linear mass is a measure of mass per unit of length, and it is a characteristic of strings or other one dimensional objects. The SI unit of linear density is the kilogram per metre (kg/m). It is defined… … Wikipedia

Homogeneous coordinate ring — In algebraic geometry, the homogeneous coordinate ring R of an algebraic variety V given as a subvariety of projective space of a given dimension N is by definition the quotient ring R = K[X0, X1, X2, ..., XN]/I where I is the homogeneous ideal… … Wikipedia
Homogeneous coordinates — In mathematics, homogeneous coordinates, introduced by August Ferdinand Möbius in his 1827 work Der barycentrische Calcul [ [http://www history.mcs.st andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Mobius.html Mobius biography ] ] , allow affine transformations to be … Wikipedia
Linear differential equation — In mathematics, a linear differential equation is a differential equation of the form: Ly = f ,where the differential operator L is a linear operator, y is the unknown function, and the right hand side fnof; is a given function (called the source … Wikipedia
Homogeneous space — In mathematics, particularly in the theories of Lie groups, algebraic groups and topological groups, a homogeneous space for a group G is a non empty manifold or topological space X on which G acts continuously by symmetry in a transitive way. A… … Wikipedia
Homogeneous (mathematics) — In mathematics, homogeneous may refer to:*Homogeneous polynomial, in algebra *Homogeneous function *Homogeneous equation, in particular: Homogeneous differential equation *Homogeneous system of linear equations, in linear algebra *Homogeneous… … Wikipedia
Homogeneous polynomial — In mathematics, a homogeneous polynomial is a polynomial whose terms are monomials all having the same total degree; or are elements of the same dimension. For example, x^5 + 2 x^3 y^2 + 9 x^1 y^4 is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 5, in two… … Wikipedia
Homogeneous function — In mathematics, a homogeneous function is a function with multiplicative scaling behaviour: if the argument is multiplied by a factor, then the result is multiplied by some power of this factor.Formal definitionSuppose that f: V arr W qquadqquad… … Wikipedia
Linear map — In mathematics, a linear map, linear mapping, linear transformation, or linear operator (in some contexts also called linear function) is a function between two vector spaces that preserves the operations of vector addition and scalar… … Wikipedia
