Vectors
Two vectors that yield 0 when crossed are this.
What is parallel?
To find parametric equations for a line, you need two vectors: a position vector and this.
What is a direction vector?
These 2-D images are taken from the perspective of the top of the z-axis.
What are level curves?
This object provides a good linear approximation for a function f(x,y) near a given point.
What is the tangent plane?
This mathematician had a famous correspondence with mathematician G. H. Hardy.
Who is Ramanujan?
The more similar the inputs, the bigger the output of this vector operation.
What is the dot product?
Lines are easily identified as parallel when written in this pleasing format.
What is symmetric form?
This type of surface only has elliptic sections.
What is an ellipsoid?
A function is differentiable if its partial derivatives are this.
What is continuous?
These two Greek letters are used in the formal definition of a limit.
What are epsilon and delta?
This unhealthy habit is also a measure of the force acting on an object in a given direction.
What is projection?
Two non-parallel lines that do not intersect are this.
What is skew?
This surface closely resembles a Pringle.
What is a hyperbolic paraboloid?
This is the set into which a function is mapped.
What is codomain?
Ada Lovelace played an instrumental role in the development of this field.
What is computer science?
This multi-step operation outputs the volume of a 3-dimensional parallelepiped.
What is the triple scalar product?
This vector associated with a plane has the same relationship to all vectors in the plane.
What is the normal vector?
These varied 3-D shapes generalize conic sections.
What are quadric surfaces?
This function yields the slope of a line tangent to a function f at a given point and contained within a plane parallel to the xz-plane.
What is the partial derivative of f with respect to x?
Professor Joe Silverman, one of the world's leading number theorists, taught Ms. Walsh's dad at this prestigious Massachusetts university.
What is Boston University?
This important operation property is shared by all three kinds of products of vectors.
What is distributivity?
These are all of the possible geometric intersections of a line and a plane in 3-space.
What are a line, a point, and nothing?
This type of surface has elliptic level curves and parabolic vertical sections.
What is an elliptic paraboloid?
If a limit goes to L as we approach a given point along all polynomial functions, then we draw this conclusion about it.
What is nothing?
Ms. Walsh's degree from Brown is in these three subjects.
What are Math, French, and Literary Arts?
